Defining Values

Step 2: Planning Workshop

  • Plan a workshop/brainstorm session on values in which all key members of the organisation will participate. Create a combination of leaders and staff to participate. The workshop needs to be customised to the needs of the organisation and the level of the team members.
  • Ask the participants, prior to the session, to read about values so that they understand how values play an important role in the organisation’s culture.
  • Ask participants to complete a values worksheet, so that they start thinking about their own values and the use of values.
  • Give participants an example of a values statement to inspire them. You can look at the examples in this toolkit for materials.
