Our values act as a point of reference for our decision-making. They provide direction as to the type of organisation we aspire to be and the kind of behaviours we regard as appropriate. Our values underpin all that we do. Our values are demonstrated through our everyday actions, giving our mission and vision life. The Values in Practice (VIP) Employee Recognition Program provides an opportunity for our staff and volunteers to build a positive and healthy culture. It’s who we are and what we do that makes St Vincent’s Private Hospital Melbourne such a great hospital. It is essential that every day we notice each other’s positive actions. This strengthens us and our workplace. The VIP Program invites you to nominate someone whom you believe has exceeded expectations and deserves to be recognised.
