Are Your Company Values Real, Or Just Decorative?

A Complimentary Organizational Values Fluency Assessment

Most Companies Have Values. Very Few Companies Live Them

Walk into almost any organization and you’ll see values everywhere—on the website, on the wall, in onboarding slides. But ask employees to name them—and the room goes quiet.

That gap is not cosmetic. It’s cultural risk.

When values aren’t shared language:

They can’t use them to guide decisions

They can’t hold each other accountable

They can’t reinforce them in hiring or promotion

They can’t connect them to performance

And leadership can’t assume alignment.


What Is The Holistic Values Project?

The Holistic Values Project is a structured, data-driven assessment that measures:

  • Values fluency (can employees name them?)

  • Values accuracy (are they naming the right ones?)

  • Cultural alignment (how employees interpret them)

  • Organizational consistency across levels and departments

This is not a generic engagement survey.
It is a direct test of whether your stated values are operational inside your organization.


What You Receive

A structured pilot deliverable set designed to measure values clarity and turn results into action.

  • Fluency by value
  • Department-level variation
  • Leadership vs. non-leadership comparison
  • Pattern analysis in misalignment
3

Executive Report

A concise, executive-ready report outlining:

  • What the data says
  • Where clarity is strong
  • Where confusion exists
  • Where cultural reinforcement is needed
  • What this means for onboarding, performance management, and leadership messaging
4

Live Readout & Strategy Session

We facilitate a session with leadership to discuss:

What Makes This Different?

Most culture initiatives
  • Ask employees how they feel
  • Measure satisfaction
  • Track engagement
The Holistic Values Project
  • Tests whether your values are understood
  • Measures cultural clarity
  • Quantifies alignment
  • Identifies operational gaps
It answers a harder question:
Are your values influencing behavior — or just decorating the website?

Who This Is For

  • Organizations with clearly stated values

  • Leadership teams serious about cultural consistency

  • HR leaders focused on alignment and reinforcement

  • Companies preparing for growth, scale, or PE oversight
