PET Team: Happy Mug initiative

January 22, 2025

Following on from previous staff survey results, directorates have come together to form People Engagement Teams (PETs) which are designed to represent the various departments and their roles inside their group.

As a Trust we are always looking to improve our survey results across the directorates and see the results in place, one example of this is from our Medicine and Emergency Care group, who have recently implemented the ‘Happy Mug’ initiative.

Happy Mug focuses on providing positivity to colleagues across the group, by encouraging colleagues to share something ‘happy’ whether that’s a fancy new pen or some sweet treats or even a positive message all inside a mug.
