Values Alignment Index®
Stop guessing. Start knowing who fits.
Go beyond CV screening and personality fit. Assess whether a candidate's core values align with the team they're joining, before the offer letter, not after the exit interview.

What is it?
A research-backed map of what actually drives your people.
The Values Alignment Index® is grounded in Professor Schwartz's globally validated research into universal human values, the same framework recognised across 80+ countries and decades of organisational psychology.
It measures the motivations behind how people make decisions, where they place trust, and how they collaborate, not personality traits or behaviours, but the why underneath them.
Values aren't about right or wrong. They're about alignment, and knowing where it exists.
How it works
Three steps from insight to action.
Assess
Each person completes a short, validated assessment. They receive their personal values profile showing their dominant orientation across four quadrants and eight values.
Analyse
Your live dashboard lets you compare profiles between individuals, within teams, and against potential new hires, showing alignment scores with full transparency.
Act
Hire for values fit. Design cohesive teams. Develop values-aware leaders. Build a culture where people understand each other and work together with less friction.
Who it's for
Built for the people who shape culture.
HR Directors & People Leaders
Understand the values dynamics shaping your culture. Use data to design retention strategies, leadership pipelines, and wellbeing initiatives grounded in what your people actually care about, not what you assume they do.
Talent Acquisition & Internal Talent Teams
Go beyond CV screening and personality fit. Assess whether a candidate's core values align with the team they're joining, before the offer letter, not after the exit interview.
OD, SME Leaders & Organisational Change
Map values alignment across departments, functions, and leadership layers. Whether you're scaling, merging, or navigating cultural change, the Index tells you where trust is strong, where it's eroding, and where intervention will have the greatest impact.
What you'll discover
Six things the Index reveals.
Where values friction lives
Identify misalignment within teams before it surfaces as conflict, disengagement, or underperformance.
Hire beyond gut feel
Do we know which values our highest-performing teams share, and which values are causing friction in our lowest-performing ones?
Leadership pipeline integrity
Build succession plans grounded in shared purpose, not just capability or tenure.
Root causes of disengagement
Where engagement surveys tell you something is wrong, the Index shows you why, at the motivational level.
The real cost of misalignment
Understand where values divergence is creating unnecessary drag across teams, functions and leadership layers.
Culture vs stated values
Compare what people perceive the organisation rewards with what leaders intend, and close the gap.
The right questions
Three questions every HR team should be asking.
- 01
Do we know which values our highest-performing teams share, and which values are causing friction in our lowest-performing ones?
- 02
When we hire for "culture fit," are we actually measuring anything beyond personality and gut feel?
- 03
If 42% of employees would leave over a values mismatch with their manager, how many of ours are already quietly disengaging?
