We get stuff done.
All of us are on a perpetual learning journey. We expect mistakes will be made - it is part of the process. Never let a mistake go to waste: we ensure that we collectively and individually learn from it.
We never attack the person who made the mistake, always the problem itself.
We value constructive debate and encourage everyone to be forthcoming with different views and opinions. We know that breadth of perspective makes us better. Input always is constructive and respectful to others.
Once the debate is concluded, we all commit to the decisions made and work together with vigour and focus to achieve the agreed outcome.
We want work to be fun and enriching. We don’t tolerate “us-and-them” attitudes across teams or groups. We work together towards outcomes without hidden agendas and with forthright, frank and respectful interactions.
Everyone across the widest range of people and the most diverse groups is included, supported and above all, challenged at Primary Portal. We care about the wider environment and society in which we operate and endeavour to make meaningful contributions to sustain our environment and the society we live in.
