Which of the following statements describes the organizational beliefs that are intended to govern employees'...

Within the Strategy and Organizational Effectiveness domains of the HRPA Professional Competency Framework, HR is expected to ensure that core organizational elements—mission (purpose), vision (desired future state), values (principles and beliefs that guide behaviour), and strategy (choices and plans to achieve objectives)—are clearly defined and aligned. “Values” articulate the organization’s beliefs and the expected standards of conduct; they are intended to guide and govern day-to-day employee behaviour and decision-making. Mission describes why the organization exists, vision describes where it aims to be, and strategy is the plan to get there; none of these substitute for the behavioural guidance provided by values.
