Company Mission and Values Alignment Survey

Thanks for taking a few minutes on this. We want to know whether our stated values actually show up in how decisions get made day to day — not just how they sound on the wall. Your responses are completely confidential and anonymized. Honest answers help most. About 5-6 minutes.

Thinking about the last few months, how often have you seen each of these values actually reflected in decisions at this company? (Template note: replace the rows below with your organization's real stated values.)

Overall, how well do the decisions you see made here match the values the company says it stands for?

Which of our stated values is most often set aside when things get busy or under pressure? (Template note: replace options with your organization's real stated values.)

• Customer Obsession (Replace with your value)
• Integrity
• Innovation
• Collaboration
• Ownership
• None — they all hold up under pressure

Rank these values by how much they actually influence real decisions here, from most to least influential in practice. (Template note: replace with your organization's real stated values.)

1. Customer Obsession (Replace with your value)
2. Integrity
3. Innovation
4. Collaboration
5. Ownership

In the last 3 months, how often have you personally witnessed a decision that contradicted one of our stated values?

Reconstruct one specific, recent instance the respondent witnessed of a decision that either honored or contradicted a stated company value — anchor on what was actually decided, who made the call, and what was said publicly versus what happened in practice. If they say they've never witnessed a contradiction, probe for a moment that best exemplified a value being lived out well instead, and what made it credible.

How much do you trust senior leadership to act consistently with our stated values when it's costly or inconvenient to do so?

Has the gap (or match) between our stated values and lived behavior affected your intent to stay at this company?

• Yes, it makes me want to leave
• Somewhat, I've started reconsidering
• No effect either way
• Yes, it makes me want to stay longer
• Not sure
