Our values will continue to guide our approach. These have been agreed, following engagement with colleagues on those which felt most important and relevant to our work: ambition, inclusiveness, integrity, teamwork, pragmatism, purposefulness.
Our values have a direct impact on everybody in our community, from colleagues with decades of service, to students having their first thoughts about studying here.
Our values shape our culture, they give us clarity, consistency, and a common purpose. They help others know what to expect from us and help us to welcome new colleagues. Whether we’re experiencing a period of stability or living through uncertain times, our values are a touchpoint which helps to guide our interactions and decisions.
Having a shared set of values can help us to connect with each other and to contribute to the communities both within the university and the wider area.
“Our values are part of our DNA as an institution. We want to build our understanding of what the values mean for everyone at LBU, and how they will influence their work and our success.”
Deputy VC Tracey Lancaster
How our values were formed
Our colleagues have been and will remain central to forming our values.
The conversation began when our Senior Management Group were asked to engage with teams to provide feedback and ideas around potential organisational values. This was followed by an all-colleague email from the Vice Chancellor asking colleagues for their input.
After receiving responses from across the university, the University Executive Team agreed on a finalised set of values. They were later announced in an email to all colleagues from the Vice Chancellor.
What if my personal values are different?
Every colleague has their own set of values, unique to their background, relationships and experiences of life and work. We wouldn’t expect you to adopt LBU’s shared values as your own in all aspects of your life.
We would, however, like you to think about your own personal values and to identify any similarities. In this way, you can make a connection with what is important to you as an individual and bring this to your contributions at work.
