About us
Hospice Values: I Matter
Mary Ann is committed to ensuring a healthy work-life balance for staff given the nature of the environment and care services provided. In 2017, staff across all the Mary Ann shops and within the hospice were invited to attend a two session “I Matter” process looking at what they felt were the important qualities to ensure a healthy work balance and how they felt valued at work. The outcome of this engagement with staff identified the following as key personal elements:
· being listened to
· appreciated
· respected
· trusted
Staff also looked at their individual responsibility also to help others feel valued, how they appreciated having freedom to grow and the importance of self-awareness.
Communication was a vital ingredient running through the whole process.
Mary Ann is committed to ensuring “I Matter” stays at the centre of its ethos for all its workforce and staff have equally committed themselves to the process.
