A good vision statement is a clear portrait of the future. Let's dive into how to create it
The Society of Human Resources Management defines a vision statement as a statement that “looks forward and creates a mental image of the ideal state that the organization wishes to achieve.”
A good vision statement is a clear portrait of the future that is possible should you and your organization execute flawlessly and accomplish all of your goals.
The best mission statements conjure this image of the future to mind in a way that inspires stakeholders to visualize that same future, get excited, and participate in the realization of that future.
Some great examples of inspiring vision statements include:
Teach for America envisions a world where “One day, all children in this nation will have the opportunity to attain an excellent education.”
The Alzheimer’s Association envisions “A world without Alzheimer's disease.”
Habitat for Humanity envisions “A world where everyone has a decent place to live.”
At Microsoft’s founding, Bill Gates envisioned a world with "A computer on every desk and in every home."
SpaceX was founded to accelerate a future where “Humans are a multi-planetary species.
These visions of the future are a one where the world is a kinder, brighter, and better place and they are the visions that enable these organizations and leaders to inspire individuals to fund those visions, to donate to those causes, to labor under those banners, and ultimately, to create that envisioned world for their communities.
Your organization, no matter its ambitions can have a vision that inspires and motivates just the same.
Take a break from the routine of everyday tasks, goals, projects, and distractions and think for a second. Where is the world headed?
It’s impossible to predict the future, but it is cpossible instead to feel the changing of the currents.
What role can we play in leading and guiding these trends for the benefit of our organizations, our stakeholders, and our communities?
If the future in your mind’s eye feels like it will truly come to pass and it feels like your organization can play a positive role in ushering in that future, you have just found your vision. Now the challenge is in communicating that vision to those around you.
For the first time you might be seeing the future with more clarity than you ever have before and you might see the exact path that you must walk to get there. No one else does yet.
Your vision statement is a critical tool in how you make your vision accessible, believable, and viral. Getting it out of your head and into the minds of your collaborators and eventually your customers. Use your vision statement to create a tight, easily digestible packaged version of your vision. Getting this right means making our vision just that much more real and that much more likely.
Your vision statement and how it is received is vision that our investors will fund, that our employees will build, and that our customers will participate in. When we write our statement we need to design it to speak to all of these different stakeholders.
There are no hard and fast rules but there are some principles that you can lean on to inform how you draft your vision statement.
A good vision statement is:
Clear - It is a focused picture of what the future looks like or what your organization looks like in the future
Big Picture - It is about more than your offering but rather about what that offering means to the world or to your community
Aspirational - It is a far off goal that can motivate your organization for decades to come and it is the kind of goal that would be worth spending decades on
Stylistically, a good mission statement is:
Tonally Appropriate - The language itself captures the tone of your brand
Concise - Your audience will know in an instant whether you excite them or bore them
Specific - What is the exact future you’re looking to create, what are the specific ways in which your organization fits into that future
The first step is to build your vision.
Try using our Vision Statement Workshop Template to guide your brainstorming session.
Once your vision is clear, just complete the sentence: “Our organization envisions a world where…”
The vision statement should capture how your customers lives will have changed, how the world will have changed, and how your organization will be leading the charge towards that transformation.

Yes, at Assembly, security is a top priority. Each quarter, we have ongoing security work that is everyone’s responsibility. While we maintain a strong security posture, it was important for us to prove to our customers that we do everything we claim to do. This led us to pursue a SOC 2 Type II report that would provide evidence of our compliance with industry gold-standard security practice.
There is study after study showing that employee recognition leads to increased engagement. This in return creates an environment where employees are happier and more motivated which increase productivity and reduces voluntary turnover significantly. In order to filled critical roles, companies tend to spend nearly twice the value of an annual salary. Assembly is an investment in your employees that supports your bottom line.

At the time of redemption (when your employees exchange their points for a paid reward) you'll pay face value. If a reward is a $10 Amazon gift card, your cost will be $10. All paid rewards are billed for on a monthly basis.
The good news is that you don't have to pay for rewards upfront because we only charge you when points are redeemed, not when they're earned.
We offer discounts or educational or charitable organizations. In order to secure a discount, you'll first need to book a demo with a customer support specialist.
For all other organizations, we are willing to consider longer-term agreements in exchange for discounts. To set up annual plans or longer, you will need to book a demo with a customer support specialist.

Great question! You can customize your core values to match your organization's to boost and track alignment. You can change your currency from the 🏆 emoji (our default) to any emoji of your choice. You can swap our logo for your own. You can also set up company culture rewards such as, "Lunch with the CEO," "Buy a book on us," and so much more!
While we recommend a peer to peer set up where anyone in your organization can give or receive recognition, you can set up Assembly however you want. If you need to limit the people who can give or receive recognition, that's perfectly fine and can be done from your Admin, here.
Assembly connects to the tools your employees use every day to offer an easy, seamless experience with minimal change management.
Assembly has integrations with HCM/HRIS systems like ADP, Google, Office 365, and Slack. We also integrate with communication tools like Slack and Teams so you and your employees can access Assembly wherever they work now.
That depends on the company's permissions set up. That said, over 90% of the employees on Assembly's platform are recognized on a monthly basis. That means nearly every employee across all of our customers are receiving regular recognition from their peers, managers, or leadership. We're extremely proud of this.
They are not required. You can use Assembly without having rewards set up. However, we don't recommend it if you intend to have a high adoption and usage rate. You can always keep the costs down by offering internal culture rewards that are fulfilled by you internally.
No, you can remove allowances from anyone or everyone. It's up to you but we do recommend using points whether they're worth a real dollar value or not. Companies that use points have a much higher engagement rate even if those points don't exchange for real dollars.
