ITT Model: Personal/Family Values and Perceptions

Individual values and perceptions play a significant role in career decisions. Values shape beliefs about what is desirable, and values can change over time. For example, employees who get married, become parents or complete a trade or degree will look at the world slightly differently than they did before. Employees with spouses and/or families will also consider their family members' values and perceptions when choosing a career, company or community.

 

ITT Toolkit Model Personal Family Values Perception

 

Values and perceptions may be impacted by an individual's:

  • Career plans and goals
  • Family/personal situation
  • Cultural background
  • Education, training and experience
  • Exposure to the petroleum industry
  • Financial situation

 

Companies and communities that understand and leverage the importance of personal and family values and perceptions have a strengthened ability to build and retain the loyalty of their employees and citizens.
