Our goals and values form the basis of our organisational culture by guiding behaviour and performance in the workplace.
Goals
We have five organisational goals to help deliver on the vision:
- Being customer-driven and community-oriented.
- Thinking strategically and acting as one organisation.
- Building leadership capability throughout the organisation.
- Being performance-driven and accountable for results.
- Behaving according to shared values.
Values
Our shared values were developed in 2005 by a broad range of employees across the organisation. As employees of the Council, we aim to behave as:
- One team: We work together, respect and support each other.
- Making it happen: We deliver excellence for our customers through innovation and consistent high standards.
- With integrity: We are honest, transparent and take responsibility.
- And passion: We work with energy and enthusiasm, celebrate our successes and have fun.
One team, making it happen, with integrity and passion.
These values and goals are also relevant to our recruitment and selection process for those wanting to find jobs and employment within the Council.
Our values and goals work to support each other through Community Outcomes.
