Our Mission statement is to be your informed voice at work!

Our Vision

  • A professional organisation of valued people, delivering great services to our members, ensuring the Union’s success:
  • Have strong representation and expert guidance, whenever our members need it (either collectively or individually).
  • Have members’ individual needs responded to, through career-long support which is championed by the Union.
  • Ensure that our members’ voices are sought, heard and acted upon.
  • Connect with each other as a professional community, which is made up of both Union Representatives and members.
  • Influence the advancement of professional development for members as a life-time career.
  • Create an organisation where inclusivity is part of our DNA.

Our Values

  • Become expert – we are an indispensable source of credible information, consistent guidance and support throughout our members’ professional lives.
  • Committed – we are committed to all members and place them at the heart of every decision we make.
  • Reliable – we are our members’ first port of call because we are trusted and dependable.
  • Challenging – we are prepared to challenge effectively on behalf of all members both individually and collectively.
  • Collaboration – we will work in the spirit of Partnership at every level with management and the Bank.
  • Act with Integrity – every decision we make should be the right one, with Honesty Integrity, and Confidentiality being key to everything we do.
  • Be professional – all our members and Representatives should always be professional in our approach and in our ethics.
  • Act responsibly – first and foremost, all decisions made by Advance Union must act in the interests of our members. However, they should also reflect our place in the wider society.
  • Be Accountable – we are fully accountable to all of our members. To that end, it is important that we operate an open and transparent process in making all of our decisions. In this way, our members can elect Representatives that truly look after everyone’s interests at work.
  • Be Kind – It is good to constructively criticise ideas and concepts, but not the person who proposes them. AU will challenge disrespectful behaviors, but equally, we will ensure that we recognise positive ones.
