How Employee Values Can Inform Development
Employee development is often discussed in terms of skills and performance. But people are not motivated by capability alone.
Values influence what people consider meaningful, worthwhile and acceptable in their work.
Values drive engagement
A development opportunity that conflicts with an employee's values may produce less engagement than an opportunity aligned with them.
More than just learning
Development should not only ask "What can you learn?", but also "What kind of contribution do you want your development to enable?"
Informing career conversations
Managers can use values to ask what matters most to an employee, what gives them satisfaction, and what workplace conditions help them perform best.
Not a performance score
Values should not be judged as "good" or "bad." The goal is simply to identify alignment between the individual's values and their role or environment.
