The Value of Teamwork

An organizational value is a belief that a specific mode of conduct is preferable to an opposite or contrary mode of conduct. We can think of these values as representing structures for the way we do things. Some organizations think of their values as their “guiding beacon” which directs the process of their organizational development and growth. Other companies describe them as the components of their work philosophy. Core values relate to how companies deal with their beliefs about their employees, customers and work. The studies regarding this subject show that successful companies place a great deal of emphasis on their values.

Values at work assist us by:

  • Providing a structure for how we treat one another at work.
  • Providing a structure for how we treat our customers.
  • Providing a structure for achieving the vision and increasing the effectiveness of the organization.
  • Creating an environment that leads to job satisfaction as well as finding work which is exciting and challenging.

Values at work are very important because:

  • They give us guidelines for our behavior even when we are stressed out.
  • It is a highly competitive world and they help us to show our customers how we are different from other providers.
  • People are aware of organizational values and look for them when choosing one company over another.
  • They provide the basis for achieving great change.
  • They help enable people and organizations to succeed.
  • They have an impact on professional practices.
  • They can provide a measurement of success for all employees.
