Core values form the foundation of a team and organization. They show what you stand for. They guide choices, leadership, collaboration, and the culture that an organization wants to strengthen. 

 However, core values only have utility and impact when employees recognize them and understand what they mean for the execution of their daily tasks. Therefore, a strong values process always begins with establishing a strong identity and formulating a clear mission and ambition for the organization. This allows tasks to be linked, creating a clear connection between mission, vision, strategy, culture, and behavior. 

Core values are credible when they align with the identity of the organization and when they are visible in the daily actions of employees. This requires more than just formulating nice words. It requires making joint choices about what is important and how that becomes visible in behavior, collaboration, decision-making, and leadership. 

During the program, the following topics will be covered: 

1. Determining core values that fit with a team and the organization 
2. Linking core values to the mission, vision, strategy, and objectives 
3. Creating support and recognition within the organization  
4. Utilizing different perspectives  
5. Translating core values into concrete behavior 
6. Making joint choices  

The result is a set of core values that provide direction and guidance for the implementation of daily activities in practice.  

Employees all view the organization from their own perspective. It is precisely these differences that make the discussion about core values valuable. By bringing together different insights and beliefs, a shared vision emerges of what the organization truly values and what it wants to stand for. This way, core values are created that not only fit the identity of the organization but are also recognized and embraced by the people who work there and give them meaning every day.  

Core values only have an impact when employees understand what this means for daily actions in the workplace. Therefore, the program translates each core value into concrete behavior, collaboration, and decision-making. Core values then evolve from words on paper to a shared way of working, collaborating, leading, and making choices. 

Core values form the connection between identity, culture, and strategy. They guide leadership, collaboration, onboarding, development, and change.  

When employees recognize, understand, and apply the same values, greater clarity, engagement, and consistency emerge within the organization. Core values become a visible part of the organizational culture and guide the daily choices that are made.  

This program is suitable for: 

1. Executive boards and management teams 
2. HR professionals  
3. Organizations in growth or change processes 
4. Organizations that want to strengthen their culture  
5. Teams that want to jointly develop or refine core values  

Core values clarify what an organization stands for. They form the foundation and provide direction for behavior, strengthen the culture, and offer guidance in the choices made every day.
