What happens when your company values sound good on paper, but don’t actually influence how people behave?

In this episode, Karen is joined by Hope Collins to explore why values like integrity, respect and excellence can be so open to interpretation, and what businesses can do to turn those values into clear, observable behaviours.

Hope shares her approach to creating commitments that help people understand what’s expected of them and give managers a much stronger foundation for accountability conversations. Karen and Hope also discuss why leaders need to hold themselves to the same standards, how clearer expectations can contribute to a safer and more respectful workplace, and why structure can actually give employees more confidence and freedom at work.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Why people can genuinely believe they’re living the company values while behaving in very different ways

• How to translate broad values into clear behaviours people can understand and demonstrate

• Why values like integrity can be difficult to use in performance and accountability conversations

• How clearer expectations can make accountability easier for managers

• Why leaders need to model the same behaviours they expect from their teams

• The connection between clear expectations, respectful workplaces and psychosocial risks

• Why more structure doesn’t necessarily mean micromanagement

• A practical first step for making your company values more meaningful over the next month

If you have company values but you’re not sure they’re influencing what happens day to day, this conversation will give you some practical ideas for closing the gap between what your organisation says it values and how people actually behave.
