More staff recommend the Trust as a place to work
Publication of the 2023 staff survey results show over 66% of staff who completed the survey, recommend the Trust as a place to work.
This result places the Trust in the top 3 most improved mental health Trusts nationally. The result is a 7-percentage point improvement on last year’s score. It shows more staff than ever ‘agreed’ or ‘strongly agreed’ that they would recommend the Trust as a place to work.
The Trust has improved against every element of the NHS People Promise. It has increased its score in the themes of engagement and morale. The domains of diversity and equality, development, motivation and thinking about leaving also improved.
“The People Promise sets out the things that would most improve our working experience. This covers factors like health and wellbeing support, the opportunity to work flexibly, and to feel we all belong, whatever our role. Having aligned our staff survey to the People Promise in 2021, we’ve seen consistently that the people who work in the NHS are best placed to say when progress has been made towards achieving our People Promise.”
“It is very encouraging and positive to see improvements across our staff survey results. However, we know we have more to do. In the coming days and months, we’ll be looking at the results in more detail. We’ll also ask staff for their thoughts on what needs to be done. We’re particularly interested in how we support the health and wellbeing of colleagues as well as how we use the appraisal process to support and develop them."
Alison Thorne-Henderson, Chief People Officer
“Our staff work incredibly hard every day to support our patients and each other. Our staff and those in our wider system always do their utmost to deliver outstanding care and I am incredibly proud of them.
“Today’s results show we are making year-on-year progress in becoming the organisation our staff and I want us to be.”
Debbie Richards, Chief Executive
