Making Company Values Public (and Why That’s a Good Thing)

One of the fun things about building SkyHR is spotting little opportunities to make work feel more human. Our latest update is a perfect example. We’ve added a way for companies to share their mission statement and values publicly, right from SkyHR, with a single click. Nothing complicated, just a small feature that I think could make a big difference.

The idea came from something I’ve seen again and again. Most companies do have a mission statement, and most have a set of values too. But where do they live? Usually in the employee handbook no one reads, or hidden away on a “Careers” page that only job seekers ever find. Which is a shame, because those statements can be powerful when they’re visible. They remind people why the business exists, what it stands for, and how decisions are made.

So, we thought – why not make them easier to share? Imagine scrolling LinkedIn and spotting a post from a company you know, not about a product launch or a sales pitch, but about the values that guide their team. Or maybe a candidate who’s curious about working with you sees your mission pop up in their feed. That feels far more real and relatable than another polished job ad.

As a co-founder at SkyHR, I get a buzz from building features that make culture more visible. This one makes me especially happy because it gives businesses a chance to wear their values on their sleeve – not locked in a system or hidden behind a login, but out there in the wild.

And I think that’s the point. Culture isn’t something that should sit quietly in a policy document. It’s something you can be proud to share, whether it’s with your team, your customers, or the world at large. Making your mission and values public says, “This is who we are, this is what matters to us.” And in an age where trust and transparency matter more than ever, that feels like the right step forward.
