How can Company Values Help People be their Best Selves at Work

How can Company Values Help People be their Best Selves at Work An organization’s company values can play a significant role in creating a workplace culture, which enables employees to bring their best selves to work and therefore be more engaged, motivated and productive. We are increasingly seeing just how much importance candidates place on finding an organization that genuinely cares and which has a set of values they can really relate to. Companies with clearly communicated values are often the most successful when it comes to competing for top talent and having high levels of employee engagement. Using our own experience of founding Pure as a values-led organization, here are some top tips on embedding values into a business and the positive difference they can make to the workplace environment. Supporting vision and purpose A company’s vision and purpose can be used as inspiration and guidance to set company values. This will help to ensure that they are authentic and can successfully form the basis for the organization’s culture. For example, when we established Pure, our vision was to create a company that was different from others within the recruitment industry. We wanted our business to focus on developing long-term client and candidate relationships rather than being driven by numbers and KPIs. Having a clear idea of what we wanted to achieve helped us to choose our values. We wanted them to represent everything we believed was important about the way we wanted to work and achieve success. Our six values are Pure Quality, Pure Teamwork, Pure Supports, Pure Delivers, Pure Rewards, and Pure Innovates. Bringing people together Employees who feel a sense of belonging are far more likely to be engaged and motivated to go the extra mile for themselves, their colleagues and the business as a whole. Shared values can bring people together whatever their background, interest, age or level of expertise. They enable businesses to celebrate and encourage diversity while still uniting people in day-to-day behaviors, standards, and attitudes. We recognize that our business is a people business. We want to bring our people together and look after them as they are our ambassadors and the ones engaging with our candidates and clients. Our values have helped us to create a culture where great work is rewarded, teamwork is celebrated and everyone is supported to deliver high quality. Company culture foundations People spend a lot of time at work, so it is understandable that they will want to be in an environment that is a positive place to be. An organization’s values can help to achieve this as they set the foundations for a company’s culture and the attitudes and behaviors to develop and maintain it. For example, we have a people-first culture and our Pure Supports company value helps us to achieve this. As well as supporting each other, and our candidates and clients, we want our employees to have the support they need to do their job well. It helps us to shape everything from the equipment and training we provide to the initiatives we put in place to support the mental and physical wellbeing of our team. Embedding values into day to day business For company values to make a real difference they need to be brought to life and embedded in day-to-day working practices. This means more than just displaying them as part of the office branding, although that is still a very positive thing to do! They also need to become foundational to the business and genuinely underpin everything. Values can be embedded by making them a part of every aspect of your business from recruitment and onboarding through to referencing them in staff reviews, reward and recognition schemes, and LD plans. They also need to be reinforced and authentically displayed by the leadership team to ensure they flow from the top down. As part of the leadership team at Pure, our values have given us the basis of establishing consistency of how we want to do things. Because we all really believe in the values, we can live them while still being our true selves, we do not have to robotically try and demonstrate them. They have also become a key part of the language we use when talking about our business, from updating our teams internally through to our external communications. We believe that being able to share our values with our clients and candidates helps to give them a real understanding of what it is like to work with us. The same goes for potential new recruits. Our values help us to explain more about how we have created a culture that differentiates us from other recruitment firms. To help share this with prospective employees, and new recruits, we have put together a Pure book to explain more about our company in a fun, easy and tangible way. After a few months of being part of our team, we also ask new e mployees to deliver a presentation which includes sharing examples of when they have seen our values being demonstrated day-to-day. This really helps people to understand why they are so important to us and how they benefit everybody.

Benevolent Capitalism - Wishing Well for All as the Key to Wealth

Benevolent Capitalism - Wishing Well for All as the Key to Wealth Generating sustainable wealth and a financial future while making the world a better place.   What could be more exciting, generative and satisfying? That is exactly the target of Benevolent Capitalism. Benevolent Capitalism Defined For those who may not be as familiar with the term, benevolent capitalism is about being in a way that wishes everyone well as a key to generating wealth.     The word benevolent comes from two Latin words, bene and volent, which mean “wishing well for all.”    This is not about being kind to others.   It’s about maximizing possibilities for all of life and creating a sustainable future and generating wealth for the world and ourselves. To prosper and thrive in the decades ahead, we have to think differently about the way we live our life and the way we operate our business. Capitalism is now at a turning point. Too many people judge that Capitalism is a terrible thing which oppresses the masses. Well, that wasn’t what Capitalism was supposed to be in the beginning. It was supposed to serve the masses to create more for us all to have. Capitalism is really about how to create more money and more possibility in our life.   And if we look from the point of view of ‘maximizing possibility’ and ‘wishing well for all’, it is a different world. To truly be the contribution to make the world a better place and generate real wealth, you must be willing to grow and to become this catalyst for a different possibility. This is what separates someone who is mediocre from someone who functions from prosperity and abundance. A Different Outlook, A Different Choice First of all, let’s be clear. The choice to become the catalyst for a different possibility is not limited to those who have leadership positions. We all have a role to play in today’s world. Every one of us has the potential to be the catalyst for a different possibility. It’s not dependent on our position, title, or authority. To generate unlimited wealth and orient towards growth we have to be willing to look from the point of view of ‘maximizing possibility’ and ‘wishing well for all’ in every area of our life and our business. This is where we become the catalyst for a different possibility. There is no reason to refuse to achieve more and become better than what we are.   Especially when others will likely benefit from our achievements and accomplishments as well. Sustainable wealth is not built on genius, or better education or pure luck. Rather, it is generated by our innate capacity to always strive and become better than what we currently are.   Just doing the same mundane, usual tasks we always do will limit our potential and greatness as an individual. We’ll never know whether we were capable of making better contributions to the world, and receiving true fulfillment from our work. And Different Results In order to create sustainable wealth, we all have to start making different choices in our everyday actions. We have to acknowledge that the way we live our life makes a difference to all of us and to the planet. We have to choose to do something totally different.   To function from ‘wishing well for all’ with every choice we make. We all have an important role to play. What is needed is a total shift in our attitudes and points of view. We have never needed to function from the space of benevolent capitalism and ‘wishing well for all’ as much as we do now. When benevolence guides our priorities, vision, and practices, the result can be exceedingly affirmative. ‘Wishing well for all’ can be the element that helps to steer the planet away from suffering and towards a generative flourishing. Are you willing to recognize and acknowledge that it is truly possible for you to develop and expand your capacity to be a catalyst for change? By making the deliberate choice to function from the space of benevolence and ‘wishing well for all’, you will become the catalyst for a different possibility in our world. Take a moment to ask yourself: What am I choosing to create as my life? Do I believe that it is truly possible for me to become a catalyst for change? What would it take for me to become a catalyst for change? What would it take for me to be a contribution to creating a better world every day? How can I   be a contribution to creating a sustainable future on this planet in every way?
