People and Culture

Amessage from our Executive Leadership Team These three focus areas have been identified based on the experiences of staff. To continue evolving our culture, we need to keep hearing from everyone. This will let us know what is having the strongest impact, how we are progressing, and where we might need to shift our focus next. We encourage everyone to get involved and share your ideas, stories, questions, and feedback.

All of us shape our culture through the decisions and actions we take every day. Our culture is how we experience working together at WSLHD. Like our vibrant community, it never stands still and is always growing. Evolving our culture and providing the best possible experience for our staff is critical to the experience of our patients. We recognise that your contributions to the health of our community – directly or indirectly – depend greatly on your experience of working at WSLHD. We are continuing to build on the important culture work of the past few years, where we have already started making significant progress. Based on your feedback and suggestions, we have identified three culture priorities to focus on going forward: leadership, communication, and behaviours. As an Executive Leadership Team, we are committed to focusing on the leadership, communication, and behaviours of ourselves and our people as individuals, in our teams, and across WSLHD.

We are striving for WSLHD to be a place of care, compassion, respect, and connection. A vibrant and growing community where our people want to come to work and feel fulfilled. We look forward to working together with you in evolving our culture.
