When asked to choose the most important set of company values, most employees chose “transparency and integrity,” according to the latest reading of an ongoing query by Comparably. Thirty-seven percent of people chose “transparency and integrity,” followed next by “teamwork and winning” (24%). “Fun and passion” came in at No. 3 (18%), followed by “speed and innovation” (13%), and last by “diversity and inclusion” (7%).
African Americans valued “diversity and inclusion” at a higher percentage than any other ethnic group (11%). They were also the only ethnic group to rank “teamwork and winning” as No. 1.
— Men and women were almost identical in their responses. The order of their ranking was the same, though men valued speed and innovation slightly more than women and women valued diversity and inclusion slightly more than men.
— The youngest employees ranked “teamwork and winning” first. 30% of employees 18 to 25 said “teamwork and winning” was most important; that was the highest in any age group.
The data above is as of Feb. 8.
