As you do when you’re developing goals, you want to be specific when you work on your core values. Add specificity to your core values so they’re not too vague. For instance, if respect is a core value, specify whether it applies to respecting individuals, diverse opinions, or the environment. If you have more questions,...

One of my favorite concepts to consider when thinking about core values is to make them actionable. Phrase your core values in actionable terms. For instance, instead of integrity, you might say act with honesty and transparency in all interactions. If you have more questions, I suggest consulting with an experienced HR professional.

As we continue on our core value journey, keep it simple. Choose a limited number of values, ideally around three to five. This makes it easier to remember and integrate them into your daily life. If you have more questions, I suggest consulting with an experienced HR professional.

This can include acknowledging individual achievements, team accomplishments, meeting specific goals, surpassing targets, or completing tasks ahead of schedule. Celebrations for these successes can be more frequent, such as at weekly or monthly team meetings. This helps maintain...

Provide ongoing training and development opportunities to help team members build new skills and improve their performance. This can also help boost morale and engagement.

Invest in team-building activities to help improve relationships and build a sense of camaraderie. This can include social events, team-building exercises, or off-site retreats. I remember my first job, we had a company picnic where management played operations in a softball game. That was the talk of the town for weeks after the picnic. Now...
