Our Values and Behaviours

We act with integrity

We do things right, remaining focused on health, safety and value for money. 

What this looks like: 

  • We treat money like it is our own and speak up if we see time, money or resources being wasted. 
  • We actively care about the health, safety, and wellbeing of all those we work with. We deliver professionally, fairly, and objectively. 
  • We do what we say we are going to do, when we say we are going to do it. We are transparent in our decision-making and any limitations. 

What this doesn’t look like: 

  • Ignoring or disrespecting the heritage of the Palace and its collections. 
  • Blaming others or failing to take accountability for our own actions. 
  • Taking decisions without appropriate evidence. 
  • Being afraid of speaking up and challenging inappropriate behaviours. 

We are inspiring

 We lead by example, looking to improve, taking planned risks, and celebrating successes 

  • What this looks like: 
  • We approach our work with care, pride, and humility. 
  • We look at the bigger picture, seeking to make a positive impact by being innovative. 
  • We share best practice and learn from others’ expertise and work. 
  • We engage widely, developing relationships which motivate and stimulate discussion and involvement. 
  • We make long-term decisions based around value for money and sustainability. 

What this doesn’t look like: 

Being unwilling to explain what is being done. 

  • Being critical of new ideas. 
  • Blaming others and being unsupportive. 
  • Being overly focused on previous programmes or projects. 

We achieve together

We work collectively and respond to, learn from, and embrace change. 

What this looks like: 

  • We are a high performing organisation, and we understand what is expected of us and from those we work with. 
  • We keep things simple. 
  • We actively build strong relationships with those who we work with, seeking to identify common goals, being clear where objectives align but also acknowledge where they don’t. 
  • We recognise that everyone has something to give and value others’ potential. 
  • We encourage and welcome constructive feedback from others. 
  • We work collectively and collaboratively with our Parliamentary colleagues. 

What this doesn’t look like: 

  • Working in silos and keeping information to ourselves. 
  • Assuming we know best and making others work to our preferences. 
  • Valuing hierarchy more than experience. 
  • Being overly forceful with our own views. 

We can be ourselves

We are inclusive and treat others with respect. 

What this looks like: 

  • We empower people to be their authentic selves. 
  • We embrace openness and honesty. 
  • We understand and strive for conscious inclusion. 
  • We are kind to ourselves, making sure we achieve a sensible work:life balance. 
  • We call out inappropriate behaviour. 

What this doesn’t look like: 

  • Forcing our opinions on others. 
  • Judging others or having a fear of being judged. 
  • Deliberately excluding others.
