We developed our values and behaviours framework through extensive consultation with our workforce to describe the way we do things; they are drivers of our behaviours as an organisation and as individuals, influencing the way we work with each other as well as the people and communities we serve.
By committing to these, we will build on existing good practice and grow our culture to support us in our delivery of our Corporate Plan 2022/23 to 2027/28.
Ambition
| Around here we | Around here we don't |
|---|---|
| think 'yes' and strive to do our best every day | create unnecessary rules and red tape |
| listen to creative ideas and build opportunities | micro-manage others |
| are curious and look to improve what we do | work in silos |
| have business heads and social hearts | dwell on the past and forget about the future |
| focus on positive outcomes for the people we serve |
Compassion
| Around here we | Around here we don't |
| put people before process | exclude others |
| treat everyone with kindness, dignity and respect | point the finger when things go wrong |
| look after our own wellbeing and encourage others to do the same | tolerate negativity and gossip |
| speak up and respectfully challenge | act like 'jobs-worths' or bystanders |
| listen to understand other perspectives |
Integrity
| Around here we | Around here we don't |
| are open and honest | ignore behaviour that conflicts with our values |
| are fair and consistent in our approach | speak negatively about our organisation |
| speak up when someone is being marginalised | use influence or status to undermine or favour colleagues |
| do what we say we will (and own it) |
