The responsibilities are shared by everyone in the BC Public Service, others, and that is where GLNS focuses. At Great Lakes Networking Society of B.C we have in place policies, procedures and statements regarding Workplace, Programs, Projects, Activities, and Events behaviours and conducts which require all employees, volunteers, and contractors to behave respectfully, collaboratively and in ways consistent with the BC government’s corporate values. For us, Respect is a key requirement for everyone, from artists, performers, audiences, members of the community, our contractors, to even the members of our communities. It promotes teamwork and increases productivity and efficiencies in the workplace, programs, activities, and events. It lets employees/volunteers know they are valued for their abilities, qualities, skills, and achievements, and that their roles are important to the Society’s success. Being respected and valued promotes a positive work culture where all concerned are loyal, fulfilled, and motivated to perform at their best for GLNS.
