From next week 850 CHFT colleagues will be randomly selected by our survey provider to receive a questionnaire in the NHS National Survey 2015. This is an opportunity to have your say about your job and working at CHFT.

The survey is completely confidential and anonymous.  Individual survey responses will not be divulged to any individual in the Trust.

Since our last survey we’ve introduced a number of new initiatives aimed at making working at CHFT a better experience including:

•             Adding Health & Safety and Equality & Diversity training (key themes from last year’s survey) to our refreshed approach to mandatory training

•             Improved internal communications such our weekly bulletin CHFT Weekly, our new monthly director-led Big Brief sessions – giving colleagues a chance to meet directors and hear what the key issues are for our Trust, and directors taking part in Go See Fridays

•             We’ve also continued our focus on appraisals – lots of support is available on the intranet

To make sure we have a clear steer on what matters to you please do take time whilst you are at work to complete it if you receive a copy (your manager should allow you time to complete the survey).

The higher the response rate the more representative the results are of the workforce as a whole – so don’t delay in having your say if you receive a survey.
