UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOURS

Unacceptable behaviours undermine our compassionate culture and reduce our ability to create and maintain a happy, healthy workplace. Research also shows that civility, kindness and compassion save patients’ lives. Examples of unacceptable behaviours can include the following:

  • I will never bully, harass or unlawfully discriminate against others
  • I will never lie, deceive or act dishonestly
  • I will never disrespect or ignore your right to privacy, confidentiality and ability to make your own choices
  • I will never behave rudely, aggressively or dismissively towards you with my body language, tone of voice or words
  • I will never knowingly let someone fail or make a mistake if it may cause harm to themselves or others
