The Employee Action Initiative Register now to receive a fully funded measurement of the psychological and emotional impact of Covid-19 on your workforce As a Chamber we fully understand that both our members and their employees need as much support as possible as the country tries to get back on its feet after the terrible impact of Covid-19 on both the national psychology as well as the economy. Given the challenges of the last 4 months, particularly on Employees of UK SME’s, we are very proud to launch The Employee Action Initiative (EAI). The EAI is a collaborative and fully funded programme between Sussex Chamber, YouBecome, (experts in Employee Experience) and The Surrey Business School. This will also be supported indirectly by our Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEP’s), Coast to Capital and South East LEP, who will provide access to ERDF funding recently made available by the government. The aim of the programme is to provide fully funded support to help our members measure the psychological and emotional impact of Covid-19 on their workforce and take the right actions to help their businesses moving forward.

Your business will receive a fully managed Employee Survey with expert analysis and advice.
