In How to Link Team Values with Personal Values by Jaffe, Dennis, and Scott, Cynthia we learn how some of the top companies in the world can leverage their employees’ values into their own corporation’s value and provide an essence-based organization. In today’s work world many times a company has its own set of values it operates under and does not take into account that their employees may have different values than the company. What happens tho if a company does take into account their employee’s differences in values and creates company values that align with their employees? This article tells us that three major things take place when values align. These consist of motivate commitment, align action, and transcend individual conflicts. Motivate commitment – values can help employees find meaning and purpose in their work, care about what their company is doing, and link their individual efforts to those of the entire company. Align action – With employees having to make many complex decisions, values offer a set of guiding principles. Transcend individual conflicts – Values provide a language and way of understanding individual differences. They also help open the door for nonjudgmental acceptance of different ways of doing things. This simple step of aligning company values with employee values creates a more motivated workforce because they are now working not toward the company’s values but their own. This is a practice all companies should look into and try for an easy way to make the workplace more enjoyable and productive overall.
