Board learning through reflective practice

The recommendation

The Ambulance Victoria Board should undertake a reflective, facilitated workshop to review and discuss how the drivers of discrimination, sexual harassment, bullying and victimisation identified in this report:

have shaped workforce equality experience in practice and Board governance and oversight of this issue
are likely to influence implementation of reforms and continual improvement
may affect other, interdependent aspects of organisational performance.

Such reflective practice should be built into regular, annual strategic reviews at the Board and Executive Committee level.
