Hi,

my name is Yolanda Oglesby

and today I am going to be presenting uh

training presentation and we are going to go over our organizational values

and how they are a road map for our our success.

The first thing I want to do today is to

divide is to define what organization of organizational values are,

organizational values are defined as beliefs about socially or

personally desirable in states or actions that are explicitly

or implicitly shared by members of an organization.

These values are important because they provide a

framework for success while reinforcing company wide ethics

in order for us to effectively get the mission done.

It also enables people to focus and how to

have a greater sense of purpose and engagement,

highlighting organizational goals and feeding into everyday decisions and work

reasons that

organizational values are critical to success for a company,

they must be um

defined

and once those critical values have been determined,

it is vital that they be disseminated

ways in which these values can be disseminated are in meetings,

in company meetings

or it can be in the form of peer recognition. However,

here at Yolanda's savvy treasure box,

the unwritten organizational values and those who include compassion, love,

justice and service will all be practiced effectively in our everyday actions,

when interacting with our customers while shopping in the

while they're shopping in the thrift shop

as well as when in the community feeding the homeless,

working with women vets and when providing life

necessities to shelters for battered women and Children.

Next we're going to take a look

and I want to highlight some of the examples of organizational values.

However, there is no limit on organizational values,

but they are unique to every organization and its mission.

Some examples of values include integrity,

innovation, collaboration, teamwork,

and passion, and for the purpose of my company, company specifically,

and our company that we all here work at

values critical to our success and our mission, our compassion,

love justice and service.

As you all know, we all work here at the savvy treasure box,

we're a thrift store and we're here in the state of florida.

Um

and we are here in ST Petersburg florida to be exact.

And as you all know, we serve uh used clothing, shoes, handbags, coats,

and other accessories at a discounted price

and the money that we make off of those items.

We utilize it to support veterans that suffer

um with PTSD

uh homeless veterans and abused women and Children uh,

that have taken safe haven and shelters.

The organizational values that we display not only um

are utilized here within our our store,

they are also utilized by our actions where we come together on a

quarterly basis and we go out and

we um participate in some programs that we've established, i.

E, you know,

feed the homeless and or going to the shelters um

having drop boxes where we collect those items that battered

women and Children can utilize because they've had to take

safe place safe haven away from everything they know.

So time and time again,

we're constantly showing compassion love,

justice and service through our everyday actions aside from

displaying those values and utilizing them in our community.

We do the same here at our store

where we offer um items at discounted prices.

You know,

because some people can't afford to go out and spend tons and tons of money on things

um,

at other stores for full price.

So we're constantly working to meet the needs of others around us while at the same

time sustaining a profit to keep the doors of the savvy treasure treasure box open.

Mm hmm.

According to Strauss

and other authors,

compassion entails feeling for a person who is

suffering and being motivated to act to help them

all of you below apply in the business industry in addition to our home lives.

So compassion

is a necessity within the workplace. But it also goes beyond the workplace.

And it's very well um

very well practiced in our everyday

everyday life.

Um ways that we can engage in acts of compassion are by practicing kindness,

motivating others.

Should do good nurturing relationships by taking time

to be authentic while while listening to others,

applying manners in all situations and getting involved in the community.

Mhm.

Next we're going to take a look.

Uh

another organizational value

of love.

The definition of love is highlighted in

the journal of Biblical perspectives in leadership.

It reads love is a spiritual and relational

partnership with God and man that encompasses an infection

for God's truth and for God's people and

is expressed through hospitality care and engaging relationships.

We all practice love on a daily basis and it can be

in a small minuscule way that you would never perhaps think of.

Um we practice love simply in the

workplace when we celebrate our coworkers birthdays,

we celebrate holidays together,

we come together to celebrate in

a momentous occasion of individuals work anniversaries

um day to day when you're talking to your co workers

and you might be providing encouragement or words of affirmation,

uh providing quality time to various social clubs, school outreach programs,

building homes for the less fortunate.

Um these are all acts

of love and contribute to,

it's the organ organizational value of love

as well as engaging in acts of service where we may create different founded

foundations to assist people so that they can be equipped to have better lives.

The next organizational value that we here at the,

at the savvy treasure box value is that of justice.

In an article by Hansen Justice is defined as

a sense sense of rightness and fairness that leads

an individual to seek to do good and to behave equitably toward all people

types of justice applicable to all people include

distributive justice, which allows for fair distribution of goods.

Um it equals receiving the same benefits um through the use

of public programs such as Social by such as Social Security,

environmental justice fair distribution of environmental benefits.

Uh an example of this is where we use our

voice to educate on the issues by providing adequate food,

transportation and safe housing.

Okay,

retributive justice

for those who cause suffering, they must suffer in return.

Community reparative boards,

mediation and conflict resolution programs and victim impact panels and etcetera

are applicable to what retributive retributive justice is and how it is applicable

and then last but not least we have the restore restore rate of

justice which is a combination of rehabilitation

of offenders and reparations to victims.

This can be an example of this is like providing victim assistance,

community service and peacemaking alternatives.

When individuals have encountered some type of trouble.

Justice is all about making sure there are

equitable standards across the board for all people

and justice is again, it's applicable to our everyday lives,

whether it be in the workplace or rather it be from a personal standpoint.

Um

it is an

attribute that can contribute to the success or the demise of an organization.

Another value that is very critical to success is acts of service,

Hinton defines service as a posture of

submission and attitude of humility and outward

focus that seeks the betterment of the

individual in the community through generous living

when it comes to access service. We do that on a day in and day out when we go to our job

to either provide products or a service to our customers, our stakeholders.

Um, we build partnerships and alliances with other

other

agencies

and or when we become involved in the community as well.

So acts of service can go a long way.

Um, generally speaking when customers see that,

not only are we engaging and providing

great quality service to them as well as products,

but we are also uh doing outreach programs and involved in the community.

Um,

whether it be through community outreach programs to help the needy or whether it

be to do something with the environment to help clean the environment up,

customers sometimes will go so far as to help our brand now become um,

be known to be loyal because they're going just

beyond the concept of trying to make a profit.

So, um, there are great dividends when organizations go beyond just there,

their mission. Um, it can yield a lot of partnerships.

It can yield expansions beyond just uh, locally and or on the domestic scale,

it can provide a broader sense of

engagements for that organization.

In conclusion,

as the leader of this company,

Yolanda savvy treasure box.

These organizational values will continue to guide us

to success and throughout our everyday life,

the values of love, compassion,

justice and service are crucial to our

long term success within the retail industry.

While profit is needed to sustain our organization, it is not a primary focus,

taking care of women veterans with PTSD, homeless people,

battered women and Children and many other

of the less fortunate are our priorities to ensure our citizens

are safe as well as creating a better community for tomorrow.

In the book of Luke, Chapter six verse 31 reads

do to others as you would have them do to you.

In other words, treat others the same way in which you would want to be treated

not only should we do this based on our values,

but according to God's principles of holiness, justice and love,

because he has laid out the Foundation in order for us to bless others.

In addition to being blessed

today,

I hope you have enjoyed my presentation on values

and how here at Yolanda's savvy treasure box.

These are things that we value

and we have been able to be blessed. So in return, we choose to be a blessing to others

and

emulate

as into what uh emulate as into what God has all,

what emulate God's holy character as in the same way that he does.

Because at the end of the day, we are supposed to do all things to glorify him
