You will build and maintain strong, positive working relationships with your team and all partners, including suppliers and union representatives, through transparent communication and a willingness to listen, fostering a psychologically safe environment.

Accountability & Fairness : Champion accountability, managing both your own performance and that of the hourly workforce regarding processes and standards. You will ensure accountability, play fair, and meet conflict with decisive action.

Collaboration : Actively listen to and value the perspectives of all team members and other department stakeholders. You will be a partner with team members, the union, and management to continuously improve everything.
