We Embrace a Learning Culture
A learning culture requires
- That everyone is heard & feels their voice matters
- Learning is continuous – not just during review or planning meetings
- What is learned is recorded as it is learned
- People are supported in acquiring the skills they need – and opportunities to enhance skills are routine
Our Principles of Partnership, Trust, Respect and Accountability:
- Encourage an Organizational Culture based on Partnership, Trust, Respect and Accountability
- Include everyone – everyone’s voice is valued
- Are posted and read at every focus group
- Are referred to as a reference in recognizing staff doing well or not so well in their relationship to other’s within and outside of agency
- Are modeled by leaders
- Create a safe place for expression of creativity and flexibility
- Strengthen partnerships inside and outside of the agency
