What are values?
Values are the things we hold important. They define our identity as an organisation. They also define the operating qualities used to improve performance. Values should nurture and enrich us. To make values come alive, we need to shape value statements that guide behaviour. We must study how each value relates to our everyday work.
The link between culture and values?
Culture can be defined as "The way we do things around here". Culture exists at various levels. The outer layer consists of the image - the buildings, the dTcor and the people - the first things people hear, see or feel when they enter or deal with the organisation. The second level of culture includes our Eskom values, strategies and goals. The deepest level of culture includes the values, beliefs and assumptions of the leaders and founders. Values are therefore a core element of culture.
