Complete the annual Staff Travel Survey
You can help shape the future of NHS Lanarkshire’s travel plans!
Head to this year’s Staff Travel Survey 2021 to share know-how you travel to work and what changes you’d like to see at your workplace. Deadline to complete the survey is Wednesday 15 September.
It takes a couple of minutes to complete, and you can let us know your thoughts on a range of subjects, from showers and changing facilities to cycle parking and safer pedestrian routes. With your help, we can make NHS Lanarkshire more sustainable and offer colleagues more options for travelling to and from work.
There’s a chance to win a £50 voucher of your choice and you can also remain anonymous if preferred. All views are welcome!
Georgie Stuart, Active Travel Project Officer, NHS Lanarkshire said: “We’re running the annual Staff Travel Survey to find out how staff are travelling to and from work and most importantly their needs and desires for future investment and improvements to support their travel habits. We are continuously reviewing provisions for staff to walk, run or cycle to work, and your views are essential for us to ensure we’re providing the best facilities and opportunities we can, as well as have the most appropriate policies in place. The survey is conducted by Sustrans, with a focus on active and sustainable forms of travel.
“The results of this survey will help inform the future of the Active Travel Engagement project run in conjunction with Sustrans. In its first year, the project has seen six new secure cycling parking shelters installed, two bike loan schemes established and has engaged many staff to reconsider their travel habits and activity levels. There are also big plans for the coming year, including a new partnership with Mobilityways to tackle commuter emission levels, and working more directly with colleagues to enable more active and sustainable travel choices. If you’d like to hear more about any of our work, please do get in touch or find us on Twitter and Facebook!”
If you have any questions or would like any additional information on the opportunities and initiatives mentioned in this survey, please get in touch with Georgie, at Georgie.Stuart@lanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk
