3. POLICY
MTCAL is a social enterprise that enables people to overcome barriers on their path to meaningful work. We are an active community-based organisation and strive to meet our vision: To shape a society where everyone has the means and motivation to create a life of their choosing. Through the successful delivery of our programs, we generate a financial surplus that is reinvested into both community-based initiatives and our business. This reinvestment supports the development and delivery of new programs aligned with our purpose, enhancing customer experience, contributing to creating a satisfying and rewarding workplace for our employees, and overall strengthening the quality of our services.
MTCAL comprises operational divisions Employment Services, Education & Training, and Youth & Community, supported by centralised Head Office Shared services.
The key principles in underpinning our policy are:
- Accountability – individual staff acceptance of personal accountability and responsibility for consistent delivery of agreed-upon services.
- Emphasis on learning – the Quality Management System is oriented towards evaluation and continuous learning, including learning from our mistakes, and extensively employs improvement methods for this.
- Teamwork – teamwork is recognised as the key to achieving our objectives and strategy and is explicitly encouraged and fostered within the culture of trust and mutual respect.
- Continual monitoring and reporting – of all agreed service quality and performance indicators
We maintain and continuously improve a quality management system that complies with the requirements of ISO 9001:2015.
Our Quality Objectives are to:
- Consistently and efficiently deliver services to our customers that meet their needs and comply with all applicable MTCAL, statutory and regulatory requirements;
- Resolve customer and employee queries promptly and in a friendly manner; and
- Give our customers confidence in our services and the ability to meet their needs.
To achieve these objectives, we shall commit to:
- Ensuring high levels of management and staff involvement in all MTCAL’s operational activity;
- Continuously engage all stakeholders in meaningful consultation and communication;
- Making every effort to follow all agreed customer requirements, MTCAL documented processes and statutory and regulatory requirements related to the services being offered; and
