We had a whopping 950 responses to our short survey aimed at improving our communications at CHFT. If you took the time to complete it....then we'd like to say a massive thank you.
We'll be analysing the information in more depth so that we can use it to help, amongst other things, a refresh of our team briefing process.
But for now, here are a some key stats:
Of the responses:
- 78% were from colleagues who are not line managers
- More than 91% said they generally use a computer during their working day
- Around 83% of colleagues have a regular team meeting - with the largest proportion of those meeting monthly
Currently the top three ways colleagues currently find out what's happening at CHFT are:
- 1. CHFT Weekly
- 2. Email
- 3. Line manager
We also asked colleagues their preferred way of receiving information in the future. The top response was from their manager or at a team meeting, though this was also followed quite closely by email and CHFT Weekly.
There were also lots of useful comments made which we'll be grouping by theme to see how we can use them to make improvements.
