Shared Values:

Shared values are the fundamental beliefs and principles that unite members of an organization, forming the foundation for trust, cooperation, and a collective identity. These values are crucial in guiding behavior, shaping organizational culture, and driving cohesive action toward common goals. They serve as a framework for decision-making and problem-solving. When members of a group share the same values, it becomes easier to reach a consensus on relevant issues.

Shared values foster cooperation and teamwork. When individuals recognize that they hold common values, they are more likely to collaborate effectively to achieve shared objectives. Additionally, shared values create a sense of identity and belonging, helping members feel connected to each other and to the organization as a whole.

RYC has put the finishing touches to the core/shared values followed by the workshop. Shared values incorporate Integrity, Accountability, Excellence, Teamwork, Diversity and Inclusion, Sustainability, Social Justice, Democratic Practices, Respect for Local Culture, Religious Tolerance, Community Participation, and a Rights-Based Approach. A succinct explanation of the significance of shared values is shown as follows:
