What are Shared Values?
Shared Values are explicit or implicit fundamental beliefs, concepts, and principles that underlie the culture of an organization. These values guide decisions and behaviours of the employees and management.
Shared Values are what link an organization together. Shared Values are also the identity by which an organization is known throughout its business area.
