Company values mean more than you think

What are company values?

Values are a commitment that shapes a culture, behaviour and decision-making processes. Company values should be multifaceted, and adaptable to all aspects of business, and applied to all interactions with employees, customers, partners, and the wider community. When reviewing a company’s values, you can consider them as a guiding light that demonstrates the integrity of that company.

When taken at face value they may appear to be generic statements; however, these values mean more than you may think. There are many factors to consider when developing your values. 

As an example let’s explore PolarSeal’s;
