Our Hackney values are presented as three statements:
We act with Purpose and Respect.
We take Ownership of our shared actions.
We lead with Unity and celebrate Diversity.
Our values and behaviors are not just posters on a wall – they are our DNA, co-created together by our workforce. They are the guiding principles we all subscribe to and the standard we hold ourselves to every day.
We act with Purpose and Respect
We foster a workplace of true belonging through active inclusion and allyship. By communicating with kindness and demonstrating good intent, we create a safe space for open dialogue. We listen to understand, ensuring every voice is valued in our collaborative, supportive community.
We take Ownership of our shared actions
We champion personal ownership and proactive collaboration, remaining solution-focused and dedicated to our service. Committed to continuous learning, we maintain a healthy culture by addressing poor performance and toxic behavior directly and effectively, ensuring every team member stays accountable to our shared success.
We lead with Unity and celebrate Diversity
We lead by example through transparency and honesty, applying all standards fairly and consistently. By breaking down silos, we work together as one Council, championing anti-racist behavior and ensuring our collective actions reflect the integrity and unity of our community.
Demonstrating these values ensures our workforce feel ‘PROUD working for Hackney’.
