Hi Helen – this blog is a bit tongue in cheek and in no way meant to undermine the work you’ve done on developing your new Values 😉 but it might help you with what to avoid when embedding and launching!

Hi Helen,

We did a Microsite which has all our team leaders talking about how we came up with the values and behaviours and how they then looked how they would apply to their own teams.

I have recently done a survey on staff to see how they are being engaged with, and contrary to my senior’s opinion (who don’t want gimmicks), the more junior members of the company want to see posters, mouse mats and other visual aids around the office, branded chocolate bars or something – basically, “loot”. They  also have asked for examples of people living them well and us to celebrate this through HiBob – giving Kudos and shoutouts and self reflection in performance reviews.

I also recommend Sheila Parry : https://www.takepride.co/ – who worked with me and my Brand and Culture Director who partnered with me on re-imagining our Values and writing new behaviours. She is really good and has a great book!!

Please feel free to give me a shout if you want some more info:
