Are these companies successful because they live their core values or were they already successful before undertaking this work? Is this a chicken and egg situation? The fact that companies like Amazon, Facebook, Apple, BP, and Netflix assign so much importance to living and breathing their core values is one indication of how crucial they are to their success.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, when asked what he would do differently if he were to start his company all over again, Tony Hsieh, CEO of US retailer, Zappos said:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&laquo;If I could go back and do Zappos all over again I would actually come up with our values from day one. We actually didn\u2019t always have values. It wasn\u2019t until about five years into it that we rolled out our values.&raquo;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Considering his business was recently bought by Amazon for $1.2billion, the fact that this is the one thing he would do differently is a powerful statement.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Here are three reasons to stand by your Core Values:<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11087 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenhatpeople.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/brooke-cagle-1181688-unsplash-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenhatpeople.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/brooke-cagle-1181688-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenhatpeople.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/brooke-cagle-1181688-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenhatpeople.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/brooke-cagle-1181688-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenhatpeople.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/brooke-cagle-1181688-unsplash.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Recruit and retain talent<\/h4>\n<p>Netflix\u2019s easy-to-understand, yet comprehensive description of values is published on their website. Here, they communicate the company\u2019s ethos, purpose, and ambitions. They provide a clear and thorough impression of what it means to be a Netflix employee, partner, and customer.<\/p>\n<p>Netflix hire and fire based on their core values. This ensures they attract individuals who share their values and are committed to helping the company achieve its vision. If you fail to uphold your core values, you risk recruiting the wrong candidates. This could result in a high employee turnover, or employees who are unengaged and who lack motivation.<\/p>\n<h4>Make the right decisions<\/h4>\n<p>If your company truly embodies their core values, decision making is simple. Let\u2019s say you quote a customer for a large piece of work. Your client tries to knock you down on price. You know that in order to complete the work to a high standard, you cannot cut corners or devote less time to it. On the other hand, you don\u2019t want to turn down the work and lose the client. If one of your core values is integrity, you know discounting the price would mean you couldn\u2019t devote the necessary time to delivering work you are proud of. When guided by your core values, the choice becomes obvious.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13654 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenhatpeople.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Charity-Game-4-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenhatpeople.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Charity-Game-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.greenhatpeople.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Charity-Game-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenhatpeople.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Charity-Game-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenhatpeople.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Charity-Game-4.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Maintain a competitive advantage<\/h4>\n<p>Distinguishing your service or product from your competition\u2019s offering becomes a race to the bottom when you focus on price. Today\u2019s customers want more from businesses. Will you always do what you say you will, when you say you will? Do you give back to the community? Are you environmentally conscious? Companies that embody their core values attract customers that respond to those values.<\/p>\n<h4>Your core values are your unique selling point!<\/h4>\n<p>It is all very well debating and drawing up lists of your company\u2019s core values, but not standing by those values will hold your business back.

Our innovative solution utilises the latest technology to embed your core values by exciting and uniting your workforce. We consistently help companies to keep their values at the forefront of their team\u2019s mind by implementing them in a fun and engaging way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your core values are your unique selling point!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3613,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[189,190,201,202],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Why is it Crucial to Stand by Your Core Values?
