Living organisational values in a multi-cultural environment : a South African case study

Organisational values consist of enduring and indispensable tenets which underpin organisational culture and form the foundation for an organisation’s purpose and goals. It should represent a unique set of collectively shared values, which silently gives direction to the multitude of decisions to be made on a daily basis within the organisational domain. Unfortunately, companies seem to place an overt focus on articulating and promulgating their values as opposed to embedding it in the hearts and minds of their employees, who ultimately have to live the values.
