In the health and social care sector, understanding and aligning your personal beliefs and attitudes with professional values is crucial for effective service delivery. This guide explores how self-awareness and organisational values influence your role.
Your background, upbringing, and experiences shape your attitudes and beliefs, influencing how you perceive and interact in your professional role.
Developing self-awareness is essential to ensure that personal biases do not negatively impact your professional duties. It involves understanding and respecting the diverse attitudes and beliefs of others.
Beliefs are your deeply-held principles guiding your life, closely linked to your morals and values. Attitudes are the opinions and mindsets shaped by your life experiences.
Understanding your employer's values, aims, and objectives is vital. Values reflect the principles evident in service delivery, aims are the general goals of the organisation, and objectives are the specific targets to achieve these aims.
If these are not readily available, it is advisable to ask your manager to provide clarity on the organisation's values, aims, and objectives.
