Our People Team Standards

THE PAST IS A FOREIGN COUNTRY… We know that best practice may not be. We challenge sameness, looking for opportunities for new and better. We don’t dwell on the past; we learn from our mistakes.

BE A QUEEN We leverage our ability to move freely through the business; we are curious, we ask the right questions and think several moves ahead.

ACT LIKE AN OWNER, NOT A RENTER We take personal responsibility and pride in the quality of our work. We are motivated by doing a good job. We set the standard high.

EVIDENCE-BASED & INSIGHT DRIVEN We use data and evidence to form insights, solving problems and creating opportunities for our business.

WE ARE STRATEGIC THINKERS We look at the whole system, navigating connections to amplify our impact.

IT’S A HUMAN EXPERIENCE We think principles over policies to always remember the human at the centre of the experience to drive better outcomes for our people.
