CORE VALUES: Why Core Values
Core values are the building blocks of organizaƟonal culture. The process of defining, measuring, and improving core values can be an excellent vehicle for improving organizaƟonal culture. Core values provide a common language to address unacceptable behaviors in a less threatening way. Core values guide decisions and emphasize what is important as the organizaƟon conƟnues to change and improve. Core values influence performance.
