For employers and HR professionals looking to weather the COVID-19 storm, one company is advising you to embrace your core values as a way to make it through these troubling times.
Recruitment marketing software provider, iHire, is urging employers to embrace core values as they navigate uncertain times. According to the company’s 2020 Core Values in the Workplace Survey, more than 60% of employers have a set of core values; however, nearly 16% of employees don’t believe their company truly follows and upholds them.
Defined as a set of principles or fundamental beliefs that guide a company and its people toward a common mission or goal, core values serve as a foundation for everything an organization does, according to iHire. Adhering to these principles is especially important when making critical business decisions, handling crises, and adjusting to unfamiliar social and economic situations—like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Key findings from iHire’s 2020 Core Values in the Workplace survey have been highlighted in the infographic below.
