The Core Value Touchpoints

Culture Development

Your core values tell the world what to expect from you and show the world what’s important to you. They are the basis of every relationship, the drivers of your decisions and your differentiator from the competition. Every organization has living core values, whether they’ve been successfully captured or not. Are yours clarified and communicated? At humanworks8, we help you discover your organization’s unwritten core values or elevate your existing values to energize your company culture and customer experience.

We’ve been very fortunate to grow as consistently as we have in our first four years of business. But, as we were hiring more people we realized that we needed to better define our core purpose, our processes and the core values that would guide those processes.  We turned to humanworks8, and they supported us in this endeavor so we could stay focused on our business. The team guided us through an interactive and insightful discovery process to reveal our existing core values, bring clarity to our purpose and stimulate new ideas for a brighter future. humanworks8 was exactly what we needed. They challenged us, held us accountable and celebrated alongside us throughout this process. We can already see the positive impact it’s had on our culture and client experience. As owners, we feel re-energized and our stylists feel a deeper connection to each other and to their impact on the salon’s goals.

Throughout our journey with humanworks8, we gained a new perspective on ourselves, our team and our company that will set us up for the future we envision. We celebrated individual and team strengths, defined our core values, hired new team members and clarified our strategic vision. The humanworks8 team went above and beyond our expectations, providing the structure, flexibility and facilitation we needed while offering timely support and empowering coaching along the way. We’re excited about the progress we made throughout this process and feel like we’re back on track. This time spent working on the business has been invaluable.

In 2021, Miron embarked on a journey to revisit and potentially revise our six corporate drivers to ensure they remained authentic to who we are as an organization. We felt it was critical to partner with an outside organization that specializes in this type of work to ensure we didn’t enter the process with any preconceived notions or biases. After going through an RFP process, we selected humanworks8, and looking back, we could not have asked for a more talented, genuine, and passionate group of individuals to work with. The team at humanworks8 truly became an extension of the Miron family. We are so grateful for their guidance and assistance with defining our organization’s core values. We were thrilled with the results not only because they so artfully captured what drives our organization, but because they worked so closely with our employees to articulate them. I have no doubt that we will remain connected to the team at humanworks8 and I am hopeful that we will have the opportunity to work with them again in the future.
