242-Your Values

Do you hire thinking you will be able to influence an employee’s value system to better suit your organization? Chances are you will not have much of any effect in this realm as most all of us have our value systems pretty well solidified in our early teens. While you may indeed be able to influence behavior systems, it is not likely that core values will be altered. That being said, it becomes the responsibility of the organization to try to synchronize and align with common values between both parties - thus is becomes very critical to be sure to understand a candidate’s core values during the hiring process to make sure both parties can prosper under a shared set up values.
