NSW Health’s Culture and Staff Experience Framework
Building a vibrant organisational culture involves nurturing behaviours that empower and support our people to deliver human-centred care. It is important that every individual feels valued, respected and included. At NSW Health, every person has an important role to play, makes a valuable contribution, and every voice is welcomed.
The Culture and Staff Experience Framework sets out the elements that contribute to culture and staff experience. It is designed to support and enhance the cultural aspects and endeavours of the many individual workplaces across the NSW Health system. It features a focus on culture and staff experience levers. These are the key elements that influence and enhance organisational culture, including: psychological safety; culture focused leadership; diversity, inclusion and belonging; and sustainability.
Access the Culture and Staff Experience Framework Hub to learn about the culture levers and how these elements can influence culture. You will find guides, articles, reports, thought leadership, research, videos, podcast and more. Use these resources to support your local culture strategies and initiatives.
