Values are essential for business success By Jacqui Tibbits, Director Consultivation In life as in business, values are our foundation and guiding light as we grow and expand and explore. Authentic, meaningful and purposeful business values create a connection between staff, volunteers and an organisation. These connections guide and influence the organisational culture, stakeholder interaction, customer satisfaction and ultimately business success. This occurs because values which are meaningful to staff provide guidance while influencing longer term strategies of the organisation. When your business values resonate with people it attracts them – whether they are staff, volunteers or customers. Steve Jobs on returning to Apple in 1997 described its core value to employees as 'we believe people with passion can change the world for the better’ which they are certainly achieving!

Safety for seniors: a non-negotiable right By Susan Johnson M (Counselling) Associate, Consultivation On the 2 August 2016 The Third Sector, a professional news site, released an article on the Aged and Community Services SA NT (ACS) request for 'considered approach in responding to the recent elder abuse reported in the Mitcham Residential Care Facility'. Consultivation agrees with the ACS saying thank you Aged and Community Services SA & NT (ACS) for calling for a considered approach to responding to elder abuse as a result of the reported incident in the Mitcham Residential Care Facility. Having worked in abuse prevention for over thirty years it continues to horrify me that the rights of some of our most vulnerable people continue to be negated and abused. Elder abuse insidiously takes place in private, behind closed doors and is frequently perpetrated by someone in a relationship, role or position that implies trust. Award winning Susan Johnson joins Consultivation By Jacqui Tibbits, Director, Consultivation Passionate about people and local communities, Susan brings with her over 33 years’ experience managing and supervising community service staff for three large Western Australian local government authorities. For the past 4.5 years Susan has worked as a Sector Development Consultant and recently a Business Development Consultant for CommunityWest where she developed, presented and evaluated professional development workshops for aged and community services staff, local government employees, non-government and private enterprises. Susan has also participated in designing and implementing innovative best practice initiatives, facilitating sector reform and project evaluations. Susan has had a key role in the progress of the Wellness Philosophy in the WA HACC Program. She has supported organisations, leaders, managers, staff and volunteers to implement positive Wellness focused changes in processes and practices. Susan continued her work in this area to 2016 where she co-authored the report Wellness: Now and for the Future, Promotion and Enhancement of the Wellness Philosophy. |
