43 MAKING YOUR VALUES COME ALIVE

As your mom or high school coach probably told you, talk is cheap. What really matters is what we do. That’s why reinforcing our values extends well beyond conversation and banners at Intertech. We’ve instituted a program that gives employees an important way to help keep the values alive and top of mind. It’s called ACE, and it involves nominating fellow employees for recognition when someone is observed putting the ACE values—attitude, commitment, excellence—into practice (see 42, page 78, for more information).

In our weekly newsletter, we note the ACEs for the past week. Four times a year, we host company-wide meetings in which employees who either nominated someone, or were nominated themselves, have the chance to win prizes through drawings. The prizes are gift cards, which are given away during fun events that also give us yet another opportunity to reinforce employees who embody our values. Once a year, we have the ACE awards. We give an award to the top ACE, top ACE nominator, and the top Rookie ACE (the person who received the most ACE nominations who’s been with us a year or less).

TAKEAWAY: Find creative ways to recognize and reward employees who embody your company values. Doing this will communicate volumes to employees about the importance of company values, while helping keep them alive as a powerful force within your organization.
