<\/div><\/div>Metro North Health is committed to promote and deliver safe and healthy workplaces that put the wellness of our people first. Our vision is that our employees are working in teams that are happy, healthy, safe and engaging, where our people can thrive and perform at their best. Every day, our people achieve amazing things in difficult circumstances. Our best leaders promote the health and wellbeing of those around them and inspire us all to do the best we can for our patients, and staff.<\/p>\n
Metro North should be a place where everyone thrives\u2013both now and in the future. We all have a responsibility to demonstrate consistent values-based leadership behaviours. Achieving this requires a commitment to leading with alignment to our core values of integrity, compassion, respect, teamwork, and high performance which are consistently reflected in all our decisions, actions, and interactions.<\/p>\n<\/div>
What is Leadership in Action?<\/h2>\n
Our culture is shaped by our daily experiences. While positive workplace culture is everyone\u2019s responsibility. Leaders underestimate the impact they have on organisational culture. The shadow they cast by the behaviours they demonstrate impacts not only engagement, but employee wellbeing and all aspects of organisational performance<\/p>\n
Insights from our Have Your Say employee engagement survey and ongoing feedback from staff have provided an opportunity to strengthen leadership capability across the organisation. These capabilities include increasing visibility and responsiveness, improving clarity in communication, fostering respectful interactions, and addressing issues more efficiently.<\/p>\n
Our Leadership in Action principles serve as an organisation-wide model for visible leadership. They empower leaders at all levels and formalise our approach to elevating performance and behaviour. Every leader is expected to recognise, reflect on, and embody the five core principles daily.<\/p>\n
Co-created with staff from across facilities and streams, as well as executive sponsors, our Leadership in Action model embodies a comprehensive and inclusive approach to guiding and empowering leaders at every level. It formalises the core principles of values-based leadership that drive our vision for Metro North Health leaders and leadership.<\/p>\n
Together, we build a great workplace where we all can thrive.<\/p>\n<\/div>
