CLS
Defining PVV
To businesses like FTSE 250 CLS culture has always been the cornerstone of its success, so defining and articulating the foundations of this culture – purpose, vision and values (PVV) –was critical in order to ensure it maintained and developed the core behaviours at the heart of the company as it grew and embedded new employees.
With an ‘inside out’ approach vital to ensure buy-in, we undertook an engagement process that included CLS’s entire workforce as well as key external audiences. Insight was drawn from interviews with over 20 key stakeholders to inform broader perspectives, while all employees were invited to workshops to debate and synthesise opinions on what CLS stood for.
The findings were presented back to the employee base prior to final articulation of the PVV narrative, which was approved at Board level. The new PVV codified what underpinned CLS’s culture and now acts as a powerful guide to inform strategy, positioning and workforce behaviours.
