V. GEAR UP YOUR MIND

Introduction
Demonstrating Value can help you take control of the data you collect, how it is used and
to communicate the performance and value of your organization, social enterprise or program.
Before we can talk about work values we must discuss what values are in general. They are the
beliefs and ideas that are important to you and guide your actions. In the food processing industry,
workers convert food materials from their raw unprocessed states into consumable items. A value
is a principal or standard that is held in high esteem by an individual and is related to all aspects of
one’s personal and work life. You may have values around family, work, spiritual, leisure, personal,
etc. Work ethic is a collection of values and behaviors that most employers feel are moral and
appropriate for the work place.
Achievement – It is a design belonging to a particular person or group of people.
Attitude – It is an expression of favour or disfavour toward a person, place, thing or event (the
attitude object)
Social Interaction – It is an exchange between two or more individuals and is a building block of
society.
Value – It is a measure of the benefit provided by a good or service to an economic agent.
Workplace – It is the physical location where someone works. Such a place can range from a
home – office to a large office building or factory.

Define the Purpose of Work

Demonstrating Value’s philosophy about measurement and guiding framework
 These guides are based on the premise that the information you gather in your
organization has to be directly relevant to the decisions you make and be compelling for others to
learn about your value. To work out what information is most useful; always keep the following
questions in mind:
What do you want to know and show?

What How will

Information is Information be
Useful?? used??

Mission Business Operational Strategic

Performance Performance (Management) (Governance)
Organizational
Accountability
Sustainability
(Stakeholders)
Determining what information is useful is a big task, but it can be simplified by looking at what you
do from three different perspectives.
1. An organizational Sustainability Perspective – What information can help you
understand whether you are developing and maintaining resources to meet your purpose
in the long run?
2. A mission Perspective – What information can tell you about the ability of the
organization to successfully contribute towards the social, cultural and environmental
objectives set out in its mission?
3. A business performance Perspective – What information can tell you about the success
of the organization from a financial or ‘business’ perspective?

It is also useful to consider carefully how information will be used, by considering three
‘audience’ perspectives:
1. An Operational Perspective – What information do you need to support day – to – day
decisions by management and staff? For instance, what can help you stay on top of costs,
quality, and delivery of your mission?
2. A Strategic Perspective – What information do you need to support strategic decisions
that are often made by a governance body such as a board? This information needs to
educate your audience about key trends and events that have occurred.
3. An Accountability Perspective – What information do you need to foster and maintain
support of the organization? This includes support by investors, community members,
employees and beneficiaries of your mission. This audience may have very limited
knowledge of who you are and what you are trying to accomplish so your “story” needs to
be very crisp.

Work Ethic is a collection of values and behaviors that most employers feel are moral
and appropriate for the work place. A strong ethic will clearly set you apart from the crowd. Some
of these values and behaviors are:
 Attendance

Work Values/Ethics concepts

May include but are not limited to:
Commitment versus Dedication
Commitment – can be expressed as a kind of an emotional attachment towards something. In
organizations, the best performers are the employees with high commitment towards completing
their tasks according to the given guidelines.
Commitment can be categorized into several forms as follows:
 Personal commitment refers to the commitment towards achieving personal goals and
objectives in life.
 Brand commitment refers to the strength of the relationship between consumers and with a
particular brand or service.
 Organizational commitment is the employee’s commitment towards achieving the vision of
the organization.
 Ontological commitment is a kind of a belief in ontology, in philosophy.

Dedication – is defined as the state of being committed to doing a particular task effectively and
efficiently. It is an important personality characteristic of an individual. Dedication is highly required
to achieve personal goals in life.
Deal with Ethical Problems
Morality and Values – Based dilemmas in the workplace are, at best, difficult to handle
when employees have to choose between what’s right and what’s wrong according to their own
principles.
Here are the steps to deal with ethical problems:
1. Develop workplace policy based on your company’s philosophy, mission statement and
code of conduct.
2. Provide workplace ethics training to employees.
3. Designate an ombudsperson in charge of handling employees’ informal concerns
pertaining to workplace ethics.
4. Research federal, state and municipal labor and employment laws pertaining to
whistleblowing.
5. Apply your workplace policy consistently when addressing workplace issues and employee
concerns about workplace ethics.

7 Steps to ethical Leadership

1. Face the complexity involved in making ethical choices.
2. Do not separate ethics from day – to – day business.
3. Do not allow negative interpersonal behaviors to erode trust.
4. Do not think about ethics as just following laws and regulations.
5. Do not exempt anyone from meeting ethical expectations.
6. Celebrate positive ethical moments.
7. Talk about ethics as an ongoing learning journey, not a once – a – year training program.

Maintain Integrity of Conduct In The Workplace

Employers, business leaders and employees can benefit from integrity in the
workplace. Integrity involves moral judgement and character, honestly and leadership values.
Individuals who show integrity in the workplace not only understand right from wrong but they
practice it in all they do. This is beneficial in a business environment where trustworthy actions set
the foundation for successful business relationships.
Golden rule
Treating others the way you want to be treated is the core principle of the golden rule
and an example of how workers can display integrity in the workplace. Practicing the golden rule
ensures that disturbances that may distract or offend others remain at bay while in a work setting.
The golden rule is a reflection of respect for others.
Honesty
Honesty is an optimal example of integrity in the workplace. Honesty encourages open
communication between employers, employees and co – workers. It leads to effective relationships
in an organization.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is a prime example of integrity in the workplace. It is also a legal
necessity. Employers have an obligation to keep certain information private. Violation of privacy
policies could lead to fines, penalties and possible lawsuits. Confidentiality instils trust and
encourages sincere consideration of the privacy of others.
Lead by example
Employers and employees can display integrity in the workplace through leading by
example. When individuals lead by example, they set the foundation for appropriate workplace
behaviour. Leading by example improves personal awareness, sensitivity to others and
accountability which are all necessary for ethical behaviour and integrity.
Instructions to co – workers are provided based on ethical, lawful and reasonable directives.
