Last chance to have your say – Staff Survey closes at 5pm tomorrow

November 23, 2023

Thank you to colleagues who have taken the time to complete the staff survey, we believe that by taking part in the survey, your views will be heard by not only SWB but by the region, and key decision makers nationally and used to inform policy and improvements around your priorities such as safety, wellbeing, working decisions and pay. By completing this survey once, your voice will be heard by numerous data users.

Staff survey closes tomorrow at 5pm so if you have not completed the survey there is still time for everyone to do their staff survey and did you know you can win £50 worth vouchers for completing it!.

As a result of your feedback in surveys, we developed our SWB People Plan, which sets out how we will deliver on our People objective – to cultivate and sustain happy, productive, and engaged staff.  It is a three-year plan which focuses on staff morale, satisfaction, and wellbeing.  It is not a workforce plan which focuses purely on numbers and recruitment.

Our wish is for SWB to be a workplace in which colleagues can realise a healthy work/life balance, to feel safe and respected and to feel fulfilled. A place where people seek to work, in which they feel a sense of pride and a workplace in which everyone thrives.

Be sure to check out this short video featuring Lesley Writtle, Deputy Chair joined by Poppy Bhachu reflecting about the rest area that was put together for colleagues and how the staff survey helps us see how we are measuring up against the NHS people promise.
