The Governance Working Group (GWG) is a diverse team of health and social services providers working with patients, clients, families and caregivers to support the NOHT-ÉSON in developing policies, procedures, and processes that stimulate excellence in organizational governance.
The GWG’s achievements include the development and adoption of the following documents to assist in guiding the work of the NOHT-ÉSON:
- Consensus Decision-Making Framework;
- Alternative Conflict Resolution Framework;
- Code of Conduct; Confidentiality Policy;
- Conflict of Interest Policy;
- Terms of Reference for the NOHT-ÉSON Planning Table;
- Onboarding Process; and
- Co-Lead Facilitation Guidelines.
The GWG is committed to ongoing review and quality improvements in all governance documents and processes to ensure the appropriate structure is in place to advance the collective work of all partners of the NOHT-ÉSON.
