Watch Amanda Oates, Executive Director of Workforce give one last plea to have your say! We need to hear from you by: Monday, 28 November 2022
The 2022 survey is now underway and is open until 5pm on Monday, 28 November. The survey is an official statistic, run to the highest standards of quality, confidentiality and accuracy. What you say is kept confidential and anonymous.
The NHS Staff Survey is a rich source of data to support understanding our NHS people’s working experiences. This information is used by your organisation, to make things better for you, your colleagues, and our patients and service users.
It is a listening tool for us all to understand and improve employee experience. Managers are able to give time to their teams to complete their survey during a team meeting or at a specific time of the day. The survey is open for 2 months so this can be planned across the period.
The survey is centred on the People Promise, which sets out the things that would most improve our working experience. It is run independently and is done to the highest standards of quality and accuracy. What you say is kept confidential and anonymous. Results are only reported to organisations in summary form and in such a way that it is impossible to identify an individual’s responses.
The results inform positive change. The survey is a vital way of finding out about your experience of working in the NHS and what could make it better for you. It only takes 15 minutes to complete.
The results take some time to check and report on: around 650,000 people take part from 280 organisations, so it takes time to check and report on such a large amount of data. The current contractor is the Picker Institute who have worked with the NHS for two decades. The results will become publicly available from March 2023.
