**Seen and valued**: No matter your role, it’s important you know how valued you are. This is something that’s felt across Warrigal - from our residents to our managers to our staff. You’ll feel it in the genuine appreciation a resident shows you for making their day, when a manager congratulates you for a job well done, or when the CEO stops by for a friendly chat. Just because.
