Our values

 Clarity  Excellence

 Respect  Trust

 

Our values guide what we say and how we act with:

  • each other
  • our members
  • our suppliers
  • our stakeholders

Our staff agree to follow these principles in their day-to-day decision making and behaviour.

We are honest, open and recognise the expertise we each bring to the organisation. We celebrate and reward people who demonstrate our culture. We also hold each other to account when we see behaviour that does not support our values.

We value the diversity of our people and our members. We trust and support our team to do their job and to take responsibility for their work. We collaborate, share knowledge and support each other.

We work together to achieve success and do the best for our members. We are open to testing new ideas and challenging the way we do things.

We celebrate success and learn from mistakes.
