Culture Change Required
"There are serious issues
raised in an Employment Relations Authority judgement
released this week. The culture within the Whangarei
District Council (WDC) organisation must change. The culture
of any organisation is defined by its leadership starting
with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)" said Mr
Dearlove
The Northern Advocate reported that WDC CEO
Mark Simpson
- made an untrue statement
- left himself
open to bias criticism
- conducted a 'sham'
interview
- applied double standards
"It is very
disturbing that the previous WDC Council had carried out an
investigation with Phil Halse as acting Mayor which found Mr
Simpson had not acted inappropriately" said Mr
Dearlove.
"We now call on Sheryl Mai and her new
Council to carry out a fair and proper investigation into
the actions of WDC CEO Mark Simpson, and make a genuine
decision about the future tenure of this man."
and
"The ratepayers of Whangarei deserve more from their CEO and Councillors" said Mr Dearlove.
