Westview adopts the bottom-up approach when it comes to setting the direction and adopting workplace policies and procedures. The majority of the policies are proposed by the respective department managers with consultation of other relevant stakeholders in order to ensure there is a shared vision of the new or improved policies across all departments. The school director will approve policies with consideration to what extent the proposed policies or amendments support the achievement of the school vision and goals. Then, the governing board will review the necessity and benefits with consideration to the available resources, and approve the proposed policies that support the school vision and goals.

To foster positive and productive Westview work culture, we adhere to the following values:

• We communicate clear expectations.
• We adhere to the five communication norms: factual, transparent, student centered, non-judgmental, and solution oriented.
• We value collaboration, feedback, evidence, courtesy, and diversity of opinion from involved parties throughout the day-to-day interactions and collaborative meetings.
• We empower ground level staff to solve their day-to-day problems and propose improvement or amendment.
• We encourage staff to reflect and learn from their experience - growth mindset;
• We encourage ALL to thrive for betterment and set goals for personal and professional growth.
• We recognize the contribution and achievement of ALL throughout day-to-day interactions, collaborative meetings, and staff performance review meetings.
• We empower ALL staff with regular mentorship and professional development opportunities throughout their employment to achieve their set goals for personal and professional growth.

With aforementioned Westview work culture, Westview has well engaged and empowered replaced by all staff levels in its day-to-day operations and ongoing improvements in these past 3 years; and we will to continue to refine our Westview work culture. Westview work culture offers many opportunities for all staff levels to grow personally and professionally according to their set goals.

Westview has and will always maintain a sufficient staffing ratio to support the student learning needs and school operations. The recruitment of local and international talents is conducted regularly throughout the year to ensure we have sufficient qualified new recruits to accompany the school regular growth of at least 100 new students every year given that Westview receives new students graduating from its sister elementary school every year on top of the new students from other schools in Cambodia.

All school policies, including the health and safety policy, code of conduct, internal procedures, teaching standards, staff and student well-being to name a few, are approved to respond to the needs of students and school operations, and in compliance with the Cambodian laws and international school best practices. Westview has successfully passed a few steps in its process of becoming an Accredited International School with two renowned International Accrediting Bodies, called Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS WASC) and Council of International Schools (CIS), which require the school to have and implement internationally recognized policies and procedures for staff and student learning outcome in our day-to-day operations. We are very hopeful that we will become a CIS member school by end of this year.
