What values do you want us all to live by? Last week, we said we wanted at least 5,000 of you to vote on new shared values by March 15 and you responded in a big way—we are at 70% of our target!

Thanks for continuing to share your voice

• 1,019 of you answered the online survey (332 more), choosing the values that resonate most with you.
• An estimated 2,655 of you have either planned or completed a values huddle with your team to vote for new values together!

But let’s not stop at 5,000! Keep spreading the word to get more of your colleagues involved in our final two weeks!

There are two ways to get involved:

1. Team values huddle – vote as a team and you’ll be entered for a team pop-up party with treats and a choice of yoga, meditation or massages for your team! Ask your manager if a huddle is planned.
2. If you’re not voting as a team, please vote individually for the values you believe in through the online survey. You’ll be entered into the prize draw for a Fitbit, and Amazon or iTunes gift cards.

Why are shared values important?

Values are the heart of an organization’s culture. They help all of us feel a stronger sense of belonging and guide how we interact and treat each other every day.

The My VCH survey results showed that our current values are not meaningful and we do not live by them. We also heard from you that you want a workplace culture that is caring, encourages learning, and still delivers the results that our patients, clients and residents deserve. This is the culture that we aspire to be—and we need your help to get there. Let’s choose our new shared values together!
