Philosophy
Human Resources is here to assist the organization, and by extension the community, in achieving its goals. We do this by hiring strong talent, providing a holistic complement of benefits and providing excellent services for a range of employee needs. We have a shared commitment to equity, stewardship, resilience and safety and strive to create teams where people can do their best work in environments where it is safe to show up authentically.
We collaborate.
We work across teams to deliver the best outcomes possible for Vancouver. We engage proactively and thoughtfully, stay open to different perspectives and resolve disagreements constructively.
We value inclusivity.
The individual differences we each bring to the workplace make us a stronger organization. We strive to identify and remove barriers to participation. We take time to understand and create space to learn from each other.
We innovate.
We are curious. We seek out new and creative approaches to challenges, and we understand how learning results from trying new things and evaluating the outcomes.
We have compassion.
We value each other as individuals who contribute in their own, unique ways to the success of our organization. We practice self-care and lead with empathy to create a positive, productive work environment.
We empower each other.
We prioritize people over processes. We strive for excellence and nurture accountable leadership at all levels of the organization. And we celebrate each other’s accomplishments.
If our values align with your own, consider joining our team.
