Mission, Vision, and Values

During the most recent Strategic Planning Session in 2006, we (REES Staff and Board of Directors) revised and updated the Mission, Vision and Values of Reaching E-Quality Employment Services.

Mission:

To promote, facilitate and maintain the employment of people with disabilities or health conditions by providing diverse and customized employment, training and consultation services.

Vision:

REES continues to be recognized as the premiere innovative and progressive employment service for people with disabilities and employers in the community.

Values:

• We believe that people with disabilities have the capacity to engage, sustain and advance in meaningful work.

• We believe that people with disabilities have the right to make decisions and take action to improve the quality of their lives.

• We believe in the inherent right of people with disabilities to be represented equally in the labour force, and to be accommodated    respectfully.

• We believe in educating others about equitable and respectful (workplace) practices that contribute to the independence and equality    of people with disabilities.

• We believe that cooperation and collaboration with other groups committed to working towards REES’ goals and objectives are    essential.

• We believe REES must embrace new challenges by identifying needs and creating innovative solutions.

• We believe that REES’ membership must represent a diverse population as it relates to our consumers, partners, employers and    volunteers.

• We believe REES’ services must equally value the needs and perspectives of both people with disabilities and employers in the    community.
