Frequently asked questions
Think of your work values like a personal compass - those gut feelings about what energizes you at work and how you prefer to get things done. Whether you're drawn to creative environments, enjoy structured processes, or thrive on helping others, these instincts often guide us toward roles and companies where we naturally fit. Many people find that when their working style matches their environment, they tend to feel more engaged and accomplish more. While skills and experience matter greatly, it's worth paying attention to these deeper preferences as you explore different career paths.
This assessment helps you clarify what matters to you at work by guiding you to make thoughtful choices, much like how organisations prioritise their focus. By reflecting on 15 key workplace factors, you'll identify your top values and gain a better sense of what energises you, as well as what you're more flexible about. The goal isn't to find a perfect workplace, but rather to understand where your priorities might align with different team cultures and companies. By understanding what matters to you, we hope you can gain some insight about different aspects of workplace culture and have conversations about what you're looking for in your next role, helping you find an environment where you’re more likely to thrive.
Understanding both your highest and lowest priorities gives a more authentic picture of what you value at work. It's natural and healthy to care about some aspects more than others - we're all different! When you identify what matters less to you, it helps paint a clearer picture of environments where you might thrive. For example, someone who ranks competition or status as less important might be happier in collaborative roles. This isn't about judging your choices - there are no right or wrong answers. Instead, it's about helping you understand your genuine preferences, which can guide you toward roles and workplaces that feel like a natural fit.
