Staff survey – ‘you said, we did’

The NHS Staff Survey has returned for 2022 and this year we’re encouraging more staff than ever to take part. The survey is a crucial part of our work to improve working life at LUHFT and helps us to commit to the ‘People’s Promise’ which strives to ensure we all have a voice that counts.

The survey is confidential and no one else at the Trust will know that you have taken part, making it the perfect opportunity to be honest in your feedback and about the changes you’d like to see in our workplace. Every staff member, including bank staff, will be invited to take part in the survey. This year, the survey will begin on 3 October and will run until 25 November 2022 and can be completed in work or on a home device. Each member of staff will receive a unique email link in order to take part. This year’s survey comes at a time of great change for the Trust, so it’s paramount that we understand your experiences and views in order to see where more change is needed. Please spread the word and encourage your colleagues to do the same, as there will be cash prizes available for top-performing teams across each site!

We’re committed to making a change and have been working to make improvements based on what you told us in last year’s survey. Some of the positive changes that we’ve made so

far are highlighted below:

You’ve said

We need to improve colleague experience in order to help you feel valued, learn and grow at LUHFT.

Together we’re doing

To give colleagues the best start when joining our organisation, we’ve designed a ‘Welcome to LUHFT’ new starter experience including a virtual welcome session and supportive resources, with a 30-day check in to see how you’re doing.

We are compassionate and inclusive

You’ve said

You didn’t feel there were enough opportunities to have your voice heard. You didn’t feel involved in decision making.

Together we’re doing

We’ve created Big Conversations so that you can share your ideas with senior leaders. We also hold a staff brief to give you a space to ask questions to our leaders.

We each have

a voice that counts

You’ve said

There aren’t enough opportunities for you to develop and grow at work and that appraisals aren’t happening consistently enough.

Together we’re doing

We’re creating a new way for you to have your appraisal which is more flexible, person-centred and will help you to have meaningful and quality conversations with your line manager.

We are

always learning
