We Align Practices With Values
Cohesive policies, processes, and procedures support and reflect the work and values of the division.
They provide direction to ensure our operations are consistent, equitable, and transparent. We will establish and maintain these essential tools.

- Review and evaluate policies and procedures that apply to multiple departments.
- Integrate inclusivity into all policy and procedural practices by using plain language in multiple language translations.
- Remove barriers to electronic access where they exist for staff.
Goal 2: Systematize the review and evaluation of policies and procedures so that they align with departmental and divisional values and operations.
Objectives
- Define the policies and procedures that need review and evaluation, and inventory them.
- Develop a measurable rubric or framework for evaluating policies and procedures, which includes a review schedule to ensure they support values and operations.
- Work with policy and procedure owners to create a productive way to contribute feedback, request changes, and resolve differences.
