Congratulations to our Organisational Effectiveness Team, earlier this week they won the Best Public Organisation Award at the national Business Culture Awards. This prestigious award recognises the team’s outstanding work in cultural innovation and the development of an assessment and triage model.
In addition to this achievement, the team were also shortlisted for the Best Employee Initiative for the ‘Your Voice Your Change’ methodology which we have used to listen to our workforce in a more in depth way rather than the use of traditional surveys.
The Business Culture Awards highlight how a strong culture can drive performance, resilience and innovation. Congratulations!
Your feedback really does make a difference.
- Carers Network: Colleagues with caring responsibilities told us a Carers Network would help increase connection and support, as well as enhance the provision of support to other staff carers across the Trust. This Network has been set up, and you can find out more information on YourSpace.
- YourInsights: You told us that accessing multiple systems is time consuming and inefficient. We have launched YourInsights, which pulls reports from different Trust systems into once place, helping you to access data without having to use numerous systems.
- Space for patients and teams: You told us that finding space can be challenging. We have expanded our Trust’s room booking system so there are now 27 sites live with 79 meeting rooms available to book (up from 14 sites and 53 rooms this time last year). Five multipurpose rooms and 27 clinic rooms are also now available.
- Career progression: You told us that you want parity in career progression, particularly amongst our multi-ethnic colleagues. We have introduced a new leadership programme for aspiring leaders and are reviewing our CPD application approval process as we strive to embed equity for all.
