We believe that every person we come into contact with; our guests, our customers or our colleagues will feel more or less engaged with Virgin Australia based on the interactions we have with them. As such, at Virgin Australia, our Values Compass including “we think customer”, “we lead the way”, “we do the right thing” and “we are determined to deliver” sets the direction with regard to behavioural expectations and is pivotal to achieving our strategic objective of becoming Australia’s best customer led organisation.
