Abstract

Our ambition is to provide every employee in the NHS with an opportunity to regularly feedback on their experiences at work. This should be done via an employee pulse check which is methodologically sound and provides a data set down to, at least, an organisational level and a further demographic breakdown. The survey must be easy to implement in organisations with complex structures and provide detailed local results and a regional and national umbrella overview. The ambition is to implement a pulse check which maximises digital technology, contains questions that are sound, valid and robust with tested data, enables a consistent and standardised view across the NHS and allows comparison with external sectors.
