Which way is your compass pointing?

Clear Vision • October 2, 2015

Your core values compass
Core values are the compass by which business leaders motivate their crew. Have you ever heard of the saying, If you don’t stand for something, you’re liable to fall for anything?
People will not tolerate, much less respect, someone in a leadership position who fails to provide a clear and consistent set of core values for everyone in the crew to use as a compass for how to approach their work and how they work for the business.
What are your core values? How do you want your business run? What do you want your clients or customers to say about you?
Perhaps, respect, open communication and on-time delivery are your core values. For another business it may be delivering your products at the lowest cost. How you answer isn’t as important as finding the answer and sticking to it.
Then ensure you clearly and regularly communicate those core values to your team. A clear understanding of these values makes their job easier to do, reduces indecisiveness and improves motivation.
Clear Vision regularly works with business owners to set, implement and adhere to a set of core values. Contact us to discuss how we can help you.

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.
