Do you want your performance reviews to lead to real development – not just ticked off forms?
The value conversation from Yesbox is a modern employee appraisal that is based on the individual's values, driving forces and way of communicating.
It is specifically designed to prevent miscommunication between manager and employee – and create a dialogue that leads to trust, direction and commitment.
💬 Why the Value Conversation works better than traditional employee discussions
The values conversation is based on the fact that each employee is unique – with their own backgrounds, priorities and expectations.
In the conversation, the employee gets to choose what is important to talk about. This creates genuine engagement and reduces the risk of misinterpretations and frustration.
This leads to:
-
Fewer misunderstandings in communication
-
More relevant conversations for both managers and employees
-
Greater responsibility and clearer goal focus
Avoid miscommunication – understand how people prioritize and communicate differently
A large part of misunderstandings in organizations arises because we interpret each other based on our own filters.
In the Values Conversation, both managers and employees are trained to understand:
-
How different people communicate
-
How values guide our behaviors
-
Why some conversations work – and others don’t
Through reflection and active listening, the manager can develop his/her coaching ability, while the employee gain better insight into their own choices and reactions.

Why are our personal values important?
Our values are deeply rooted in us, they can be both conscious and unconscious. We have taken them with us on our journey - from parents, school and friends. Regardless, our values form a foundation for how we see the world.
Our values are based on what is most important to us and therefore they will be control our focus.
They express themselves through our feelings for what is right and wrong and decide what decisions we make. Being in a context that does not match our values creates inner tension and can lead to strong negative stress.
By extension, also dissatisfaction, increased sick leave and burnout. On the other hand when we feel that we are a part of a context of values that are in line with our own it can create a huge driving force.
