We are stronger together

We work together towards a common goal

We are team players and all get stuck in

We are positive in dealing with problems

We value going the extra mile but do not expect it as the ‘norm’

We are confident in what we know and ask or find out if we don’t

We celebrate and share our successes

We only do straight talking!

We are resilient

We do our job well

We aim to do everything right first time but recognise that it might not happen every time

We question and speak up – we don’t have secrets

We learn from our mistakes and ensure that they aren’t repeated

We work together to find solutions to problems and do not point fingers or have a blame culture

We have a good work-life balance

We respect and value each other

Everyone has a voice

We listen to each other and make every conversation count

We try new things and encourage ideas

We take responsibility for our own actions

We make suggestions, propose solutions and don’t just expect the answer from a manager
