Implementing your core values

Clear Vision • January 21, 2016

In last week’s article we looked at core values and how it can benefit your business to identify and document these values.
Clear Vision can work with you to help identify the core values of your business. The process is relatively painless and we believe can provide significant benefits to any business.
Once you’ve identified those values here are some suggestions for implementation:
– regularly talk about your values and test new ideas against your values.
– promote and reward staff based on how they demonstrate their commitment to the core values.
– when struggling to make key business decisions take a step back and weigh up the options against your core values.
– make sure your staff and your customers know what your values are. Include them in staff manuals and display them for customers to see.
– encourage your team to identify and speak out about breaches of your values.
– talk about your values when conducting staff reviews.
– talk about your values when developing customer relationships or when your in the sales process.
Talk to Justin at Clear Vision for guidance about identifying and making the most of the core values of your business.

From 1 July 2025, the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) rate in Australia will increase to 12%. This means employers will be legally required to contribute at least 12% of an eligible employee's ordinary time earnings to their superannuation fund. This increase is the final step in a legislated rise from 9.5% in 2021 to 12% by 2025, aimed at boosting retirement savings for Australian workers. If you use Xero for payroll, the SG rate should automatically update in the system. However, we recommend you double-check your payroll settings to ensure everything is correct. If you’re unsure or need assistance, please contact your bookkeeper or get in touch with us at: Clear Vision Accountancy Group (07) 4688 2500 We’re here to help you stay compliant and avoid any costly errors.
