Terra Code of Honour
The Code of Honour was developed in 2009 after a comprehensive process which included dialogue and the opportunity for all staff to participate in determining the Code of Honour. It was updated in 2012. The Code of Honour reflects how we work together, what we hold each other accountable for and our values as a staff team.
- We believe in respecting our diversity and celebrating it. Our differences can come together positively to strengthen our team as a whole.
- We believe that each of us can choose our own attitude. By being positive and respectful we can create a healthy work environment and set a good example for our clients.
- We believe in being supportive to each other. Terra is a team and a team member in need should always be supported and never left behind.
- We believe in supporting the communities we serve. In working collaboratively with other agencies, we can open ourselves up to new opportunities for programs, partnerships and possibilities to help our clients.
- We believe in dealing with issues as they arise. Bringing forth conflicts in an open, honest and courteous manner will allow us to address them in a non-confrontational way so we can continue working towards the success of our organization.
- We believe in being accountable. By taking responsibility for our mistakes and supporting colleagues through theirs, we can learn from them, move past them, and be successful.
- We believe in our mission. We can better serve our clients by always being aware of our purpose in everything we do.
- We believe in celebrating successes and taking time to have fun! By committing to positivity in the workplace, we all can further enjoy the work we do.
- We believe in making our personal lives and organization an example of what we teach. We should love and respect others just as we should love and respect ourselves.
