Employee engagement

NHS Birmingham East and North recognises that in order to improve patient care we must help staff to feel more engaged and involved at work.  Our approach to employee engagement includes a number of initiatives including:

• Partnership working within the Local Health Economy and internally with our staff side representatives
• Providing an effective staff induction programme and access to learning and development opportunities at all levels in the Trust
• Defining a communication strategy to allow staff effective mechanisms for feedback and interaction
• Ensuring the annual NHS staff survey results, which is a gauge of what we are doing well and where staff feel there is room for improvement are continuously reviewed and actions identified to improve staff experiences across the Trust
• Embedding the NHS Constitution for all staff to ensure understanding, relevance and personal responsibility
• Developing a consistently applied, co-ordinated and effective health and well being programme for staff.
