Message from Ron HicksDeputy Minister of Executive Council
Every member of our public service contributes to delivering high-quality programs and services to individuals and families living in our province and to supporting government in achieving its goals in areas that are important to Albertans. Sometimes, we get so immersed in our work that we forget to reflect on the importance of having a shared understanding of where we are headed, what we do, and how we do it – our vision and values. After several months discussing our vision and values with public service employees across the province, vision and value statements that will help guide us as we begin our second century of work as a public service were introduced in June 2006. I know that our public service is up to the task of bringing the vision and values to life in our daily work so they move from being words on the wall to the talk in the hall, because you have identified how important they are to you. Doing that successfully takes the commitment, determination, and participation of each and every one of us. That's where this website comes in. On this site, you will find a wide range of resources to assist you in bringing the vision and values to life, including materials to raise awareness of the vision and values, tips on integrating them in your work, stories of how your colleagues are living the vision and values, background information about how the vision and values were developed, and links to other vision and values resources on the web. New information and additional resources are added to this site regularly, so be sure to bookmark it on your browser and visit it often. I am confident that when we look back a few years from now on how our vision and values have guided us, we will see how successful they have been helping us proudly build a stronger province for current and future generations. |
