October 13 to 17 is Values Week across the Victorian public sector.
Celebrated to coincide with World Values Day on the 16th of October, it is an important time to highlight and reflect on the seven public sector values that underpin and guide our work.
Our values are Respect, Responsiveness, Impartiality, Integrity, Accountability, Leadership and Human Rights.
They are meaningful, practical and the guardrails of public sector craft. Keeping them at the top of your mind can help you navigate times of change and transition. The values can help you care for and support your colleagues and serve your community.
Values Week is all about embracing our values and celebrating the public servants who exemplify them.
Take the time this week to send a Values Thank You card to a colleague or team doing excellent, values-driven work. You can find Thank You cards and other promotional resources on the Victorian Public Sector Commission website: Public sector values – VPSC.
