What are values?
The word 'value' comes from the Germanic 'werþa' = 'value' or 'precious' and is related to the Germanic 'werþan' = 'to become'. It refers to qualities that are important to us or ideals we wish to follow.
​
'Values' are reflected in an individual's behavior subconsciously and provide a compass for guidance in daily decision-making and actions.
​
Corporate values can ensure the long-term success of a company. They establish rules for the community and help create a shared culture.

Why Values?
​Values are the anchor that helps us navigate crises and unforeseen events. They guide our actions, enabling us to make quick decisions, achieve goals, and experience a sense of purpose. Without knowing our top three personal values, we risk making decisions that don't align with them, leading to dissatisfaction. To live a life by our own rules, we must understand our personal values
Values are also crucial for organizations. Studies show that companies with a culture based on shared values outperform others in several ways:
-
Their revenues grow faster.
-
They have a higher rate of job creation.
-
Their stock values increase significantly.
-
Their profitability is markedly higher.

What We Offer
In our Values Workshop, participants will explore the concept of 'values' and how they impact organizational success.
They will identify their personal values and reflect on how these have served as a compass in their decision-making and actions.
Through a team exercise, existing company or team values will be identified, and discussions will focus on which additional values might be needed for success.
At the end of the workshop, participants will integrate the learned theoretical and practical knowledge into a joint action plan.
