The principles that help us decide what is right and wrong, and how to act in various situations are values. Values represent the moral beliefs or accepted standards of a person or social group. Values can also be regarded as something we cannot compromise for. Each individual has different priorities in life so value differs from person to person. Something that is meaningful for me can be totally meaningless for someone else. For example if I value relationship, I cannot expect everyone else to value the same. Values are more of personal thing. Like every individuals, every organization also has its own values that guides the activities within that organization. Organizational values are derived from the values of individuals that shape the organizational culture (Andolsek & Stebe , 2004).
For any organization to succeed, the values of the people working in the organization should align with the values of the organization. The mismatch between the employee and organizational values may deviate the organization from achieving its desired results. The values that I hold with respect to my professional work are:
Honesty
Accountability
Punctuality
Continuous Learning
Collaboration
I believe being honest to self and the profession we are in is a must. One should be able to justify and stand by the decisions he makes and action he takes on behalf of the organization. Time is very important element in every profession and since the things are changing one should possess the tendency to keep on learning and growing continuously. Lastly no organization can operate in isolation so collaboration is one of the professional values for me.
We need to use our time and attention wisely because both of them are limited. The things and activities we choose to spend our time and attention eventually shapes us. We need to spend the time in significant work. Those who spend time in right places see amazing results in both personal and professional life (Joy, 2017). Attention also has similar implication. The more attention we pay to something, the more attention it will attract and the more we will achieve (Life Optimizer, 2007). So we need to invest our time and attention on things that we value so that we can maximize the results. Spending time and attention on the work we value will motivate us to perform better. If the organizational values are synchronized with personal value, employees will automatically devote more time and attention in their work.
I am currently working in a home health care provider named Health at Home Pvt. Ltd. My professional values are aligned with the place I am working in. I chose to work in the organization because of the shared values. As our work is directly concerned with the health of people, we cannot have any discount on our values. Being loyal to the organization and client is the foundation of our business. Similarly everyone has to be accountable for their actions as the actions taken by the team can improve or worsen the health condition of a person. Health care business needs to address to the medical issues promptly so punctuality cannot be ignored. Be it giving medicines, taking for doctor visits or performing various tests, everything needs to be done on time. We are improving our services and outreach activities based on the past results and feedback. We are growing and learning at the same time. Similarly the organization is performing well because of the cooperation and collaboration among different departments within the organization. The relationship we have with our partner organizations and clients also hold great importance in our existence and growth.
