Why Core Values Matter More Than Ever in Remote Teams
Managing a remote team can feel like herding cats—especially when it comes to keeping everyone aligned with your company’s core values.
But with the right approach, you can make sure your values aren’t just words on a website but part of every team member’s daily work life.
1. Assign Core Values Ambassadors
Think of these people as your values champions.
They’re the ones who naturally embody your company’s values and can influence others. Give them the official title, recognize their efforts, and watch how they set the tone for the entire team.
2. Emphasize Recognition
A little appreciation goes a long way.
Research shows that 69% of employees feel more engaged when recognized for values-based actions. Set up a system for giving shout-outs to those who exemplify your values—whether in meetings, through a Slack channel, or in company-wide emails.
3. Core Values Roulette
Make it fun and spontaneous by assigning a team member each week to share a story on how they (or someone else) exemplified a core value.
It builds accountability and reminds everyone of the impact they can make, all while injecting a bit of humor into the routine.
4. Lead by Example
It’s simple: walk the walk. As a manager, the way you demonstrate these values speaks louder than any training or handbook ever could.
Embracing core values in a remote team isn’t just possible—it’s essential.
By building them into the fabric of your day-to-day interactions, you’ll create a team that’s not just productive but aligned, motivated, and committed.
And hey, you might just have a little fun along the way too.
