According to Gallup, companies that align employee behaviors with core values experience a 29% increase in workforce engagement and a 23% increase in profitability.
Core values are the DNA of any organization. They can’t just be words on your website or live on a conference room wall. They must be the backbone of a company’s culture, how you behave as an organization, and the guiding light when leadership has to make tough business decisions. In fact, a study by Gallup found that organizations that actively implement their core values in everyday practices see higher employee engagement and a lower turnover rate compared to those that don’t.
