Creating company values

Values in ClarityLoop represent the core principles that guide team behavior and decision-making. Once defined, values become part of everyday workflows, appearing in feedback, insights, announcements, and recognition through Value Distribution insights.

Who can create values?​

  • Workspace owners can create, edit, and publish values.
  • Available on all plans, but advanced insights related to values require the Professional Plan.

Steps to create values​

  1. Open company values:

    • Navigate to Company Values from the sidebar.
    • Click New system and give it a clear, descriptive name.

  2. Define the values:

    • Name: A concise, clear name that reflects the core principle. (e.g., "Collaboration")
    • Description: Explain what the value means and why it matters. (e.g., "We work together across teams to achieve better outcomes.")
    • Behaviors: Identify the behaviors that demonstrate this value. (e.g., "Proactively share knowledge across departments.")
    • Relevant resources: Add links or documents that help illustrate or support the value. (e.g., an internal wiki on collaboration practices)

  3. Publish company values:

    • Click Publish to publish the company values.
