Corporate values are commonplace. They are stated on corporate literature and easily found on company websites so that visitors can get a sense of what is important to the organisation. Stating values is also a way to shape internal stakeholders’ understanding of the company and an attempt to influence their behaviours.

Gallup reports employee engagement at 32% as an improvement, best since 2000! Perhaps if organization leaders put more effort into reflecting on, communicating effectively and actually living the values they espouse. People want to know that they are involved in something greater than themselves. Corporate values, properly followed, lays the foundation for healthy cultures and higher performance.
Values are always more valuable when they are lived rather than relegated to a shelf for display. Too many companies values are on shelves only.
Social Responsibility is a core value at Red Payments and we seek to attract talent with similar values. Through donations to charities with each new merchant that is brought on and environmentally conscious to reduce carbon footprints are two of our main values.
