She explained Union and Staff Association representatives were in attendance and a helpful conversation took place on the staff survey results which focussed on transparency and acceptance of results. Union representatives recognised the positive comments such as access to welfare support and safety equipment but also the areas for improvement such as manageable workload. There was a commitment from all three organisations to address the findings and have full involvement of Unions and Staff Associations in creating solutions. The Committee will receive an annual update to review progress.
