Ernst & Young company values

So important are these values to E & Y that they have developed a strategy to sustain the company's beliefs moving forward. Leadership is the first implementation stage. This requires an investment from the company's leadership to set "the tone from the top," whereby values are evident in their behavior and decision-making.

The company then works to align its current policies and procedures to the desired values for which they are striving. This process requires working with the relevant departments to modify current policies, remove outdated policies and introduce new policies that reflect the values of the company.

Finally, E & Y must marry their employees to the core values of the company. This process relies on awareness and the persistence of management. Town hall meetings and culture lectures are several ways that leadership can thoughtfully engage employees regarding the direction of the company and how E & Y employees should conduct themselves while achieving company goals.
