Definitely agree. It withholds a competence and truly represents the image of an institution.
Easy to comprehend, should also be highlighted as there is no room for misinterpretation. When employed and making a decision, we are representing the institution and should reference the mission to better make a decision.
Loida,
Thanks for reaffirming that the mission is a living document that reflects the foundational purpose of the institution!

Very well said, Linda and Jennifer! The mission and value premise allows each employee to act with integrity individually which provides cohesion among the organization. This solidifies the students’ confidence because all departments act according to the mission which allows them to do the right thing for every student, every time.
It sets a standard by which employees are able to work by, it gives understanding to those looking seek the service of that company and finally it allow me to weigh my own values and ethics against my company and make sure they add up.
Without a mission statement there would not be a clear and precise indication of what our "Institution" is recognized for.
Yes, students should know the mission of the institution. One way is to be published in the bulletin boards.
Yes, mission and vision have to go hand in hand.
The mission of our institution is important to me because it gives me direction and support to my work. When I started working was the first point discussed by human resources director.
She explained that the mission was part of everyday life. It is true, in our institution's mission is alive.
Sandra,
This is an interesting comment about the mission statement helping to set boundaries. I actually never thought of it that way, however, it makes perfect sense. The mission truly is a guiding factor. Thanks!

My company's mission and value premise is important because it shows that our college is trustworthy and has integrity.
My company's mission and value premise is important because it helps guide our everyday decisions. When in doubt about a certain situation, it is helpful to reread and reflect what the purpose of the mission is, in order to better serve not only our customers (students) but also our vendors and fellow coworkers.
It is important to me that I understand my University's mission and value premise because in doing so, my students will experience positive outcomes. My decisions will benefit the student as our mission defines the goals needed for commitment on my part and foster student commitment.
Mission and value of my company align with my personal value. If my values are not aligned with the values of my company, the integrity of the company and myself would be in question.
It gives a clear understanding of what of what is expected from the employees all the way to our students. It helps build long lasting relationships with students to better assist them in reaching their goals.
It allows for a basic set of over-riding principles to help make decisions.
The mission should represent what your institution stands for and project to the student
excellence
commitment
professionalism
innovation
A mission statement is about purpose. It is important to know the stated purpose of an organization before entering a relationship with it.
It is important to me because it allows me to know what my boundaries are. I know what I am empowered to do and say without having to find someone or look it up in a manual. The value premise is the core of the mission to me. This is real life and must be treated in this manner at all times. If you cannot believe the information being given to you by a representative of the school is true then the value of the education as already been devalued. I run my day to day activities living by this moto “if you are honest with me I will always be honest and upfront with youâ€. I tell students if they lie then I do not have the clear picture of how to help and assist them in their efforts of continuing their education.
