Core values matter. They support the company mission, help shape the culture, and reflect what is important to the company. They are the essence of a company’s identity and serve as its cultural cornerstones. From the first interview to the last day of work, employees should understand that the company core values form the basis for every decision they make. Cat Lee, Head of Culture at Pinterest shares how Pinterest weaves its mission and core values into every aspect of their employee experience. Interested in learning more? Visit www.culturesummit.co
