Core values and behaviours framework

Behaviours

The behaviours we expect of each other are described under these headings:

  • Leading and developing people
  • Be future focussed and drive positive change
  • Political and commercial focus
  • Consistently deliver results
  • Building relationships and influencing others
  • Grow yourself

Under each heading are behaviour descriptions.  These can be used: 

  • as part of a selection process
  • for an appraisal objective
  • to recognise positive behaviour
  • to challenge unhelpful behaviours

When designing selection activities look at the behaviours which are most important to the role and use the descriptors to help measure the responses.

When agreeing performance and development appraisal objectives, particular values or behaviours may be important for an objective or can be an objective in their own right such as developing understanding of the political environment or building relationships through partnership working. The behaviour descriptions give examples of what successful behaviour might look like.

In all cases the descriptions can be adapted to meet the needs of the particular role.
