It is the last week for staff within the acute directorate to complete their iMatter staff experience survey.
Teams within this cohort have until Monday 26 June to complete their questionnaire.
Completing the questionnaire – online, on paper or by SMS (text messaging) – allows staff the chance to give feedback on, and be involved in, influencing change and improvement in their workplace.
Staff can take just 10 minutes out of their day to fill in their questionnaire, completed anonymously. The completed questionnaires will then be processed by an external company making it totally confidential.
Judith Park, director of acute services, said: “All our staff have been under a tremendous amount of pressure over the last year and I would encourage teams within acute services to take the time to complete their iMatter questionnaire.
“By doing so, it will help line managers understand what it is like for their staff as an individual at work, in their teams and in NHS Lanarkshire and put in place any support that may be required to enable employees feel motivated, supported and cared for at work.”
“To understand the levels of satisfaction of our staff – particularly given the pressures they have been under during the Covid pandemic – we can share the best of what we do and help areas where a bit more support may be required. This helps promote openness and transparency in our teams about staff experience at work and, over time, supports each team’s development. It recognises that there is already a lot that is good about our teams and our workplace, but we should always be looking to learn and improve.”
“iMatter is designed to help line managers understand what it is like for their staff as an individual at work, in their teams and in NHS Lanarkshire. I would therefore encourage all teams within acute services to take the time to complete their iMatter questionnaire to ensure that everyone has their voice heard.”
Please take the time to fill in your iMatter questionnaire by Monday 26 June. If you are in this group of staff and have not received your questionnaire, please speak to your line manager.
