OUR STAFF
Our staff are one of our greatest strengths, bringing compassion and skill to Youth Connection' work.
We aim to build an organisation that is known for being a great place to work, one that is dynamic, positive, productive and high performing. In order to achieve this, the Board and Executive Team have identified that a ‘People and Culture’ strategy is to be developed during the financial year 2020-2021 year.
Such a strategy will be founded in achieving the following:
1. Creating meaningful reasons to join and stay
This applies to staff and volunteers. We recognise that our volunteers are a necessary part of support running through the organisation. We value their commitment to our work and their tireless service across the business.
2. Growing and developing leaders
We aim to drive leadership excellence and capability, united towards a common purpose
3. Inspiring and growing our people
We aim to create a learning culture that prioritises our people's development and career aspirations
4. Bringing forward fresh and diverse perspectives
Youth Connections believes in the power of diverse teams, and sees diversity as a key to innovation. The Youth Connections consumer base is diverse, and so the employee base must also be diverse in order to provide a better focus on that consumer.
5. Creating a climate to make a difference
We support a creative climate that inspires staff and motivates them to make a difference
6. Building adaptability and agility to respond to the changing world
It is through our people that we will deliver on our service promises of:
Person centred services
Local solutions
Advancing quality
Safety and innovation
