Every organization has values - they're shown in the way your people carry themselves everyday, and what drives your decisions to hire, fire, promote, etc. Those values may or may not match the ones you have written down on paper and promote to people, but they're there none-the-less. @HRJEFE – I think at many organizations corporate values (at least the ones they have written down) are baloney!

However, I currently work for a company where we have core values and we really do integrate them into everything we do. It's not just something we know by rote but know because we refer to them on daily basis when discussing our business and how we operate. Are we perfect with living our values? No. But I do like that we really try and it does make a difference. Also, our culture/values is known in our industry as being very strong which is a good thing too.

Integrity to me is about aligning words with behavior. I agree with you that a company can have the best values written down but if the behavior does not match it creates misalignment. Its better to have just a few values that are easy to adhere to even if they are not written down. Marguerite Chris, in the end its about integrity.
