Patient Support Services
At HealthShare NSW, our vision is to connect with and understand the needs of our people, patients, NSW Health staff and the community. We know that a positive workplace culture helps our people work best and delivers better outcomes for our customers.
Each day we’re growing a positive and constructive culture that helps our people do their best work. We call this ‘blue’ culture, which is built on achievement, innovation, collaboration and valuing our people and their safety.
Our constructive, blue culture and CORE values guide us in everything that we do.
Constructive, blue culture
Workplace culture is simply known as ‘the way we do things around here.' A blue culture means we put people first. We strive to connect with those around us and inspire a common purpose to deliver the best for our customers.
Blue culture means:
- Our people are supportive and co-operative
- We work to challenging but realistic goals and achieve these goals
- We are developed and coached to grow
- We engage in constructive conversations
- Our people enjoy their work, develop themselves and take on new and interesting activities
CORE values
Our CORE values of Collaboration, Openness, Respect and Empowerment underpin everything we do, from the products and services we offer to the way we interact and support patients and staff.
