Company Values Alignment Survey

The Company Values Alignment Survey is a ready-to-launch set of 22 questions that measures how well employees know, believe in, and act on your organization's values. It tests whether people can clearly articulate the core values from memory, understand what each value means in practice for their role, and see those values reflected in everyday work. It also checks personal alignment, asking whether the organization's values match employees' own and whether they feel meaningful rather than just slogans. Run it when you want to know whether your values are guiding real behavior and decisions, or whether they live only on a wall or website.

Stated values only create value when people know them and use them. This survey gives you evidence on both. Responses reveal whether employees can articulate the values, understand how they apply to their role, and actually use them to guide decisions and interactions. They also show whether values feel authentic or hollow, and whether difficult decisions visibly reflect them. Those signals inform how you communicate values, onboard new hires, and reinforce the behaviors you want. Strong alignment supports consistent decision-making and culture, so spotting weak spots early helps you close the gap between words and action.

The roughly 22 questions move from awareness to action. Awareness and understanding asks whether employees can articulate the core values from memory and understand what each value means in practice for their role, and whether the organization explains how values should influence decisions and behaviors. Personal alignment covers whether the values match employees' own and whether they feel meaningful rather than slogans. Values in action looks at whether people regularly see the values demonstrated in their team's everyday work, whether they use the values to guide their own decisions and interactions, and whether difficult decisions visibly reflect the values. Together they show how deeply values are embedded.

Copy or download the full set of 22 questions and load them into a survey tool you already use, such as Google Forms, Typeform, or an internal HR platform. No signup is required. Keep responses anonymous so people answer honestly about whether values feel real or hollow. Set a clear closing date and explain how the findings will shape communication or onboarding. When results come in, compare awareness scores against values-in-action scores, since a gap between the two points to where reinforcement is most needed.
