But not every organization has a stirring, personally compelling mission and vision to drive that sense of purpose. How do you help those employees experience meaningful work?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/frannyoxford?trk=public_profile_browsemap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Franny Oxford<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, vice president of people and culture at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/getplume.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plume<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, knows a lot about that. Most of the people she works with are highly driven by Plume\u2019s vision to provide gender-affirming health care to the trans community. But not every role in Oxford\u2019s career has been so mission-driven, and she\u2019s learned to lean into company values to create meaning for employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you are in an environment where the vision is not particularly inspiring, then that makes your values all the more important,\u201d she says. \u201cYou have the opportunity to collaborate with others to create values and then live those values in a way that is compelling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She shared her approach to creating a culture where your company\u2019s values become the driving force behind engagement and meaning for your employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Focus on values that matter to your people<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shared values are the glue that binds a community together. They shape the ideals for interacting and working together. \u201cHistorically, every community has set up guidelines around how to interact with each other in a meaningful and sustainable way,\u201d Oxford says. \u201cWork is one more community, and agreeing on what\u2019s going to work best and how we work together is a big part of creating a sustainable community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Values are difficult to uphold when they\u2019re detached from practical application. If you don\u2019t define the behaviors accompanying your values, employees will interpret them in their way, leading to confusion and misunderstandings. \u201cWhat\u2019s most important with values is agreeing on behaviors that go with them, really drawing out three or four key behaviors that we expect from one another and that [employees] can expect from us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To reinforce your values, you need buy-in from your workforce. Buy-in varies by company makeup and culture. \u201cHere, people have to touch it, make their own change or suggestion, to feel bought in,\u201d Oxford says of the company culture at Plume. \u201cIn a previous [role], it was engagement by validating what was already happening, what was already in place and what was already working.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be mindful that buy-in can come from unexpected places. \u201cIn more casual workplaces, people engage by joking,\u201d Oxford notes. \u201cAt a previous employer, there was a lot of kidding around and joking about what values might mean. I think it was&nbsp; a way for people to begin to engage with their peers around those values in a way that felt safe.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using humor is a valid way for the workforce to understand your values at a deeper level \u2014 to make them their own.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Address and acknowledge company values in action<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s often a disconnect between professed values and the lived culture. Too large a gap between these two elements can dilute the power of your values.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s important to do everything you can to create as much overlap as possible. Sometimes that can get awkward, and that\u2019s OK,\u201d Oxford says. \u201cWe would rather have proactive awkwardness towards our values than the cynicism that comes when we have stuff on the wall that doesn\u2019t live in people\u2019s actual behaviors.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To reinforce values in behaviors, you can create behavior-based prompts for managers to bring up during employee performance conversations. \u201cAsk them how their job most deeply impacted the vision of the organization,\u201d Oxford suggests. \u201cOffer feedback specifically on areas of opportunity and deep areas of strength in those values.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t just rely on managers to offer feedback on how an employee lives the company\u2019s values, however. \u201cPeer-to-peer feedback is crucial in this area, particularly written peer-to-peer feedback,\u201d Oxford says.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peer groups tend to be more familiar with the behaviors associated with company values at that level of the organization and among those job groups. That gives them an insight that managers and leaders higher up in the organization may not see. \u201cPeers are much more likely to see these day-to-day behaviors than managers,\u201d Oxford says. \u201cPeers can typically give specific examples in the moment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tech tools like Betterworks can help employees and managers have better, more informed conversations. \u201cWe have an opportunity in the performance management software we use for people to give that feedback,\u201d Oxford says. \u201cThen it shows up in their quarterly review so the manager can refer to it as they offer feedback, as well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reinforcing values in the workplace culture also requires managing the managers based on company values. \u201cHow are they exemplifying those values to their employees?\u201d Oxford says. \u201cHow are they setting up structures for success for people to live those values? Do they know enough about their team members and their motivations to successfully communicate when someone is hitting the mark?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recognition is essential for reinforcing values in action. \u201cProactively building those relationships and proactively recognizing when they exemplify those values is probably the most important thing you can do,\u201d Oxford continues. \u201cIt\u2019s not something that\u2019s going to happen on its own \u2014 and it\u2019s crucial.\u201d Establish kudos boards and other channels for employees to celebrate each other for living values or challenge each other to be better.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Leave room for organic evolution<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining uniformity across the workforce isn\u2019t easy, especially in distributed work environments where employees might not regularly engage with employees beyond their own team. This isolation can result in teams developing their own take on values, but Oxford says that\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing. \u201cIf that team is evolving those values in a way that works for the organization, that could become a center of excellence,\u201d she says. \u201cSee how they actualize it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these environments, managers play a key role in maintaining alignment between broader company values and the values evolving on individual teams. \u201cPreventing a subset of values that are at odds with the organization is really a matter of working with that manager to make sure they\u2019re serving as a bridge between the organization\u2019s values and the team\u2019s values,\u201d Oxford says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may notice a healthy tension as your values play out in practice. It may be hard for people to see that someone who values appearing calm under pressure has a sense of urgency about completing their work, for instance. At the same time, someone who shares a stronger affinity with the value of accountability might publicly express a greater sense of urgency than colleagues who value poise and calm might want to see. \u201cIt\u2019s a matter of balance,\u201d Oxford says. \u201cYou can have both sets of values in the organization and keep that balance appropriate while showing people\u2019s strengths.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When employees can connect with your values, they can bring their whole best selves to work. By incorporating values alignment across the employee life cycle, especially in the hiring process, you give employees a choice to opt-in to your company values.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTalking about it from the very beginning, during the interview stage, helps people to opt-in if those values are important to them and also helps people opt out if those values are <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> important to them,\u201d Oxford says. Centering employees on shared values contributes to a greater sense of purpose and meaningful work.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HR Influencer Franny
