Put simply, our organisation is about building a community of trust by ‘Being the Best We Can.’ At the core of the way we work, is Being the Best we Can. You will hear our Chief Executive often talk about this. He is passionate about not only what we deliver, but how we deliver!
We can’t achieve our vision and outcomes without having a common purpose and set of values that help guide The Way We Work (click on the poster below to open a larger version).
We do this by empowering people to look at the way we do things by:
- Doing the right thing – if it feels right then it probably is
- Creating the right environment – setting the platform that enables everyone to be their best
- Improving ourselves – everyone making a commitment to ‘Be the Best We Can’
- Developing a values-based culture
What this means in terms of our Organisational Development is a focus on:
- Customers and Service – our customer focus philosophy assists us to do the right thing
- Systems & Planning – our systems and processes create the right environment
- People & Culture – commitment to and support of personal goals and development – we improve ourselves
And overarching everything is Trust, which is integral to the way we interact within our organisation, with our community and with our Community & Partners, the reason we are here.
Our Values are therefore very simple:
Integrity – we are consistent trustworthy and honest in our dealings with self and others
Teamwork – we work together, supporting each other to stay focused and on track
Innovation – we initiate positive change and develop more effective ways of working
Respect – we value others for their contribution
