Who is Bring Workplace Values Alive for?

This exercise will be useful for workshop leaders, team leaders and managers, organisational development practitioners and others who work with groups to help them identify or create a sense of their core values or a values statement.

How does it help with Bringing Workplace Values Alive?

Our values are deeply encoded in how we act and we are not always aware of them until they are offended. At which point we can experience very strong negative emotions of shock, outrage, unfairness, injustice, violation and so on. It is helpful to know and understand our core values to ensure that we, and those around us, can work to honour them.

By creating a space to explore and identify values in different work domains, this exercise enables people to access and share these deeply embedded values, thus creating greater team understanding and respect of what is important to individuals. At the same time the exercise enables the identification of common values and potentially the creation of a lived statement of team values.
