Where to find Staff

• Would not shy away from hard work and could find things that need to be done without the direction of others.
• Would get to work on time every time and not put at risk the lives of others in an attempt to be the first to leave each day.
• Would listen carefully when spoken to and ask only enough questions to ensure the accurate undertaking of the work.
• Would be honest and ethical, telling the truth every time.
• Would not sulk or complain when emergencies arise requiring extra effort and time.
• Would be cheerful, courteous and helpful to everyone and determined to make good.
• Would be enthusiastic and motivated to achieve.
• Would have the requisite education, skills and experience.

It is interesting that only 1 of the 8 attributes addresses skills experience and qualifications.
