Employee handbook

Our values

Our core values are Stewardship, Inclusiveness, Excellence and Respect. Together they help to make clear our common purpose and priorities.

• Stewardship: Focusing on the longer term to ensure we are leaving things better than we found them and putting our shared interests ahead of any individual or team
• Inclusiveness: Understanding the big picture and seeking out alternative perspectives.  Every colleague feels they are able to make a valued contribution and deliver their best work
• Excellence: Taking care to enhance our reputation in everything we do. Using our skills and resources efficiently and effectively to deliver high-quality sustainable results
• Respect: Appreciating difference, building cohesive teams and fostering the values and experiences of diversity

Our values are a central part of our working culture and our people management processes.

Applying our values

If you’re a new or existing member of staff, it’s important that you take the time to understand how our values apply to your role. If you’re a manager, you’ll need to explain what the values mean to your staff. You should recognise the right behaviours and support any areas for development.

If you’re applying for jobs with us, we strongly encourage you to familiarise yourself with our values and behaviours as we will frame some of our interview questions around these.
