Are Business Values Important?
Valuing your business by the bottom line is certainly important, but what about valuing your business by its values?
Workplace values go unnoticed until a major corporate scandal rocks the business world. When Enron’s accounting fraud was brought to light, commentators highlighted the major disconnect between the company’s stated values (communication, respect, integrity and excellence) and what actually happened behind closed doors.
