Transactional Analysis For Improving Communication

Our values

Our ‘One Coventry Values’ have been co-created with the support and input of all employees across the Council so they are reflective of how we want to be represented both as colleagues and to the wider community. 

We want to ensure there is clarity of purpose through the Council’s vision of our One Coventry Values and Behaviours; putting diversity and inclusion at the heart of everything we do. 

Moving forward the values will become an integral part of our: Reward Strategy, Appraisals, Recruitment, Attraction and Onboarding, Recognition and Development and Employee Engagement.

Our values define us as an organisation and influence everything we do and how we treat each other.  We recognise the crucial role each and every one of us plays in helping to achieve our goals. We want Coventry City Council to be an inclusive workplace where people know they are valued and feel empowered in their roles to achieve excellence for our customers and communities.

To achieve this, we have committed to the following six values:  

Open and fair

We are fair, open, and transparent.

Create and innovate

We embrace new ways of working to continuously improve.

Own and be accountable

Value and respect
