My Voice(viewpoints):
Values
Competence
Competence refers to the knowledge, abilities, personal suitability and other qualities required to perform effectively in the workplace. Competence resides in individuals, working independently or as a member of a team, and in the organization as a whole. We:
commit to employing competent people
maintain and transmit “corporate memory” (i.e., knowledge, skills and experience developed over many years) as an essential part of organizational competence and renewal
invest in individual development and career planning to maintain the required competencies and to support personal and organizational growth
Respect
Mutual trust, recognition of accomplishments, self-esteem and regard for others are important elements of respectful working relationships. As a value that is earned and deserved, respect implies that we:
respect individual differences and different points of view
recognize individual and team contributions
respect the need to balance our work and personal lives
recognize the right of employees to union membership, representation and participation in union activities
respect and apply principles concerning official languages, employment equity, privacy, health and safety in the workplace, and protection from harassment and discrimination
foster an environment in which we participate in the organization’s activities and decisions
consult prior to taking decisions that directly affect other employees
Fairness
Fairness means that our activities and decisions are just, timely, impartial and objective. We:
ensure equitable treatment of employees both individually and collectively while respecting our diversity
apply equitable processes and our attitudes, acts, and decisions are well reasoned
communicate our practices and decisions openly and honestly
ensure that all staffing decisions and other human resource practices are free from political influence and other forms of patronage
