Applying Company Values Across the Talent Lifecycle - with Aman Malhi

In this episode, Dan van der Werf interviews Aman Malhi about bringing company values to life and applying them across the talent lifecycle

The key takeaway from this episode:

• When defining core values, it’s important to keep them simple and focus on the most critical values. Having a long list of hundreds of values is not super helpful. To reduce many values to a smaller number of critical values, you can put your values through a ‘stress test.’ That is, when deciding on a value, think about if you come across someone who does not live that value, are you prepared to part ways? If the answer is no, the value is not important enough. Every core value should go through this sort of ‘stress test.’

• After your core values are in place, you can start using them for a variety of talent management applications. For example, in hiring, your values can be highlighted in job descriptions and job ads. Values should describe the behaviours that you want people to live every day. Interview questions can be asked that assess these behaviours that are linked to the core values.
