2015 Staff Survey
Key areas for improvement by theme:
● Managing Change - whilst improved, there is still a need for further improvement.
Communication needs to focus on change as having a positive outcome, with clearly
demonstrated benefits.
● Cost Centre – from the 10 areas that have most deteriorated since 2013, 6 of them
related to issues at a cost centre level.
● Leadership - demonstrating actions as a result of the survey will continue to improve
leadership scores, as well as continuing to improve how change is managed
● Job Plans & Careers – ensuring all staff have a Forward Job Plan is likely to impact on
most scores in a positive way.
● Pay & Benefits – this continues to be a low scoring theme, with only 31% satisfaction (a
deterioration of 1% since 2013).
