employees to participate actively in developing their own learning plans and accessing<br />

appropriate pr<strong>of</strong>essional development to remain current and to prepare for future roles. It<br />

also challenges the Humber community to provide all employees with the tools they need<br />

to do the best job possible and to recognize and appreciate employees for their<br />

contribution.<br />

4.0 Market Responsiveness – Position Humber to anticipate, assess and respond to learning<br />

needs to reflect changing workplace needs in select Canadian and global markets.<br />

Humber must respond faster to shifts in traditional markets including the development <strong>of</strong><br />

new initiatives in select Canadian and global markets. To maintain its position as a leader<br />

in education and training, strategic partnerships and alliances are essential to infuse new<br />

ideas and promote growth. Humber must continue to align its strengths in program<br />

delivery in conjunction with the marketplace. Programs and services need to keep pace<br />

with the rapidly changing job market for full time students and to meet the continuous<br />

learning needs <strong>of</strong> these students, part time learners, and our corporate clients. Each<br />

employee carries the responsibility for being Humber’s “eyes and ears”. Research<br />

practices and information systems need to be developed to track market intelligence that<br />

employees gather. Employees and partners must keep market responsiveness in their<br />

thinking, and all planning decisions must be based on a Humber-wide marketing plan.<br />

5.0 Financial Sustainability – Create a financial environment that will support high quality<br />

learning and service experiences.<br />

Government funding cuts and caps have eroded our traditional revenue base. At the<br />

same time, changes in learning modes present new costs and <strong>of</strong>fer new revenue<br />

opportunities. These factors affect the financial planning framework and necessitate the<br />

evolution <strong>of</strong> financial processes at Humber, as well as the alignment <strong>of</strong> organization<br />

policies to support new initiatives.<br />

Humber Code <strong>of</strong> Ethics<br />

Humber Institute <strong>of</strong> Technology and Advanced Learning has established principles and values<br />

governing the conduct <strong>of</strong> all Humber employees which honour and promote the preservation<br />

and protection <strong>of</strong> fundamental freedoms and human rights. Humber’s Code <strong>of</strong> Ethics stresses<br />

the importance <strong>of</strong> fairness, honesty, pr<strong>of</strong>essional integrity, respect, and trust, and the Code<br />

spells out, in detail, what is expected <strong>of</strong> employees in relation to each <strong>of</strong> these principles.<br />

The Code <strong>of</strong> Ethics forms an integral part <strong>of</strong> Humber’s quality assurance system in that it sets<br />

out the principles, and some <strong>of</strong> the practices, against which performance is measured through<br />

the Operational Review and Program Review Self-Assessment Reports.<br />

The Code <strong>of</strong> Ethics outlines the principles and values that guide the conduct <strong>of</strong> all Humber<br />

employees and honours the preservation and protection <strong>of</strong> fundamental human rights.<br />

Underlying the code is a belief that each employee has the right to dignity and respect. By<br />

supporting and abiding by this Code, the employees <strong>of</strong> Humber will demonstrate by their<br />

behaviour that they have concern for the fundamental rights and freedoms <strong>of</strong> students, other<br />

employees, and the community at large.<br />

We support the following principles:<br />

Fairness – In our relationships with others, we strive to be fair and just in our decisions and<br />

actions. To provide fair and just treatment, we carefully weigh the circumstances and variables<br />
