Introduction

The Pulse Check (which now includes our mandatory Staff Friends and Family Test (FFT) questions) is run on a quarterly basis and allow our staff and leaders to keep track of the engagement levels in an ongoing basis. They provide information to allow focus and relevant action to be taken each quarter rather than once a year. It also means that leaders will have key indicators very swiftly after the questionnaire has been completed, rather than with the national NHS Staff Survey whereby 6 months elapses between completion and results sharing.

The senior People and Organisational Effectiveness team also work to triangulate the results from the pulse check with those of other key people metrics, eg attendance, appraisal and information from the Divisional People Leads (or DPL's) on service changes etc.

Announcements

Please be advised that the way we run our Pulse Check is changing.
 

Following feedback from staff regarding being over surveyed and from Managers requesting more time to follow up on, act on and make changes we have decided that moving forward into 2019/2020, we will be running the Pulse Checks as follows:

 

Q1 - All staff

Q2 - Random sample

Q3 - 2019 NHS Staff Survey (all staff)

Q4 - Random sample

LATEST RESULTS - Master report

The Master Pulse Check report was last updated with the Quarter 1 figures (Quarter 2 is a sample of staff, Quarter 3 is replaced by the NHS Staff Survey).

Please click on the image below to download the full tracking report, mapped back from April 2014 to March 2019 to display your results for all localities (directorate, department and team level) over time.

 

 

Due to the structure changes that have taken place in ESR, the reports that we have received do not show the historical data and columns that we are used to for most areas. You will be able to cross reference with the previous reports and the OE team can support you to link up page numbers where the teams are the same, with only a name change, however they are unable to manipulate the historical data to match the groupings in the new ESR structures.
