Communicating What Matters

A Case for Including Values Training in Every Aspect of Employee Development

"We are struck by the explicit attention [excellent companies] pay to values.”

--Tom Peters and Bob Waterman: In Search of Excellence

Research reveals that organizations that take values seriously can more effectively attract and keep talent in the emerging business paradigm of the 21st century.
 
What can the employee development process or training programs do to make sure everyone understands the values of the organization and applies them every day in every job?
 
Training offers an opportunity to establish clearer foundations and expectations for ethics, integrity, and corporate social responsibility but, often this opportunity is overlooked. 

In the future training must be managed so that it is planned and deliberately and clearly linked to workplace values and philosophy.

At this meeting, you'll learn the importance of:

• Identifying opportunities to incorporate values training into employee development initiatives
• Establishing clear expectations for ethics, integrity and corporate responsibility
• Communicating and leveraging workplace values to attract and keep new talent
