Testimonials

"The online version of Values-Driven Work is a great tool for Stanford University staff because it's a quick, effective way for them to explore what's important to them at work. They're able to see what changes they can make in their current jobs and lives to better match their values. The test results also provide a good starting point for conversations with supervisors about work values and expectations. The online version makes it easy for staff to access it from work or home, plus it's completely confidential."

"Ten years ago we were introduced to the Values-Driven Work Self-Report Inventory developed by the Career Action Center. Today we continue to use the Inventory with our clients. They tell us the following:

"This activity strengthened my knowledge of myself and how I want to contribute to organizations."

"Our entire group now understands what is important to each person and why. This level of awareness has resulted in our group becoming a team, thereby increasing our effectiveness."

"Knowing our top 10 values as an organization guides us as we make tough decisions about our future."

"This assessment put me in touch with my values again. I was losing them somewhat."

"Going through this process validated my own goals and where I would like to be regarding my career."

"Values-Driven Work gave me a better picture of who I am and what's important to me."

"It provided a good, quick method to identify important values."

"Going through the card sort helped to distill the essence of me and when I finished I had 'me' described on paper in plain daylight."
