How do I set up Company Values?

Modified on Wed, 09 Mar 2022 at 09:45 AM

What are values?

Company values are the core values or standards that guide the way a company does business. These help sum up what your business stands for, influences the organizational culture, and also drives how and why you as an individual do things within your company. As part of the formal review process, we allow employees to measure themselves against these values to see if they feel they are adhering to them.


Creating Company Values

To create new values for your company, you first need to head to the admin page of Immerse Works (the little cog in the top right of the page, or on the menu on the left). Once here, click on Company Values which is located under the General heading.


This brings you to the Values page, where you can view all values that are set up for the company. To add new ones, simply click on the Actions button in the top right, then click Add New Value.


This brings up a new page that allows you to create new value. Simply fill in the value title and description. Click Submit when you are done. 


Here are some examples of values that companies already use:


Performance: Sport is the foundation for all we do and executional excellence is a core value of our Group. - Adidas

Togetherness: Togetherness is at the heart of the IKEA culture. We are strong when we trust each other, pull in the same direction and have fun together. - IKEA

Focus on the user and all else will follow: Since the beginning, we've focused on providing the best user experience possible. Whether we’re designing a new Internet browser or a new tweak to the look of the home page, we take great care to ensure that they will ultimately serve you, rather than our own internal goal or bottom line. Our homepage interface is clear and simple, and pages load instantly. Placement in Search results is never sold to anyone, and advertising is not only clearly marked as such – it offers relevant content and is not distracting. When we build new tools and applications, we believe that they should work so well you don’t have to consider how they might have been designed differently. - Google

Cost-Conscious: Being cost-conscious is about keeping an eye on expenses and making smart, sustainable choices even in the small, everyday things.- H&M

Courage: You say what you think, when it’s in the best interest of Netflix, even if it is uncomfortable. You are willing to be critical of the status quo. You question actions inconsistent with our values. - Netflix

Champion The Mission: Prioritise work that advances the mission and positively impacts the community. Build with the long-term in mind. Actively participate in the community and culture. - Airbnb
Please note that as soon as you create a new value, it will appear in all reviews company-wide.



Setting up the default Value Outcomes


When completing a review, the company values are graded against an outcome profile by both the user and the line manager. If you wish to change these outcomes, you can! To change the outcome, head to the system admin page and find the Custom Outcome Profile/Custom Outcomes link, located under the Reviews heading.




On this page you can see all available profiles on your system. Here you can set your default profile, edit profiles and create new ones. To change which outcome appears against your values during the review period, simply change the default. To do this, click on the Actions button opposite the profile and select 'Make Default


You can find more information about creating outcome profiles in this support article: How do I create a Custom Outcome Profile?
