Core Values
Core Values are the most central and fundamental features of an organization. Every organization has Core Values, whether they have been explicitly defined or not, and they rarely change over time. Thus, if we want to find out what an organization is really all about, we should seek to know what its Core Values are, and the degree to which they are respected by staff in their work.
- Respect
- Recognition
- Integrity
- Commitment
- Reliance
