Our Ongoing
Approach
Working with People, Partners and Place
We work with people, with and alongside our partners, and in our places to achieve our ambitions. This is the approach we take to everything that we do, and all that we deliver
Our Values, Behaviours, and People Strategy
Just like individuals, our organisation's values guide the way we think and act, and our behaviours underpin our values and set out how we act upon them. These are the foundations for our People Strategy, which sets out how we will achieve our shared outcomes by having people with the right skills, values and behaviours.
Our values, behaviours and People Strategy are long-term commitments for how we want our organisation to be shaped, now and into the future.
We use the phrase 'We're Kirklees' within our staff teams to reflect our pride in Kirklees and our commitment to working together for all our places
