The Principles
The Principle of Spiritual Integrity
Our Christian faith is more than a wall plaque or a casual declaration
– it permeates the character, flavour and behaviour of all that we do.
The Principle of Workforce Inclusiveness
We astutely balance the preservation of our Christian ethos with our
legal and moral duties concerning unlawful discrimination and acting
with justice and compassion.
The Principle of Shared Mission
Our organisation has a compelling reason for its existence, and this mission is clearly documented, regularly communicated, and owned by everybody involved in the organisation.
The Principle of Diligent Recruitment
We over-invest in recruitment, and wherever possible we are careful in our recruiting to seek to match people to their calling from God, not just to a vacant position.
The Principle of Honest Communication
We communicate clearly and honestly with our people. Expectations are clear, agreements are properly documented, and the truth is spoken consistently, so that everybody knows where things stand.
The Principle of Lawful Entitlements
We take seriously the obligations imposed on us to uphold the laws of the land, and we consider that treating people in accordance with their proper entitlements is a non-negotiable minimum for a Christian employer.
The Principle of Reasonable Remuneration
Remuneration should not be so extravagant as to result in a lifestyle of wealth and indulgence. Nor should it be so meagre as to result in a life of hardship and mere survival.
The Principle of Fair Treatment
Justice is a core component of the Christian Gospel, and we strive to treat every person in our organisation with fairness.
The Principle of Life Balance
We recognise that work is only part of a person’s life and ministry, and we seek to create a workplace environment which honours and supports the other roles and priorities to which God has called our people.
The Principle of Organisational Stewardship
We strive to be good stewards of our organisation by developing our people, managing their performance, striving for godly productivity, and reducing the wastage caused by HR mistakes.
The Principle of Dignified Departures
Organisations and people can suffer unnecessary pain when the conclusion process is poorly handled. Therefore, we commit to manage this process carefully, with sincere prayer, godly love, procedural excellence, and extravagant compassion.
The Principle of Workplace Testimony
A Christian organisation should be a fulfilling place to work, so that our workplace is a testimony to everyone of God’s character. |
