Business values are important in culture building as stated in this post. Therefore, choose the right values to build your organization culture.

Values also provide clarity to your employees on what is truly important in the organization, clarity on personal conduct on what is expected from each other.

There are many successful businesses you can learn from to help you choose the values that are suitable for your type of business.
