Your Voice Update

Your Voice Surveys closed on Saturday night and this snap shot was taken on Friday lunchtime but shows how well we did in Essex completing the surveys. It was pretty much agreed by all participants that this survey was concise and easy to complete with relevant questions which will make a difference once the results are published and the action plans developed.
I believe that it is important that 'YOUR VOICE'  is part of all of our agendas throughout the year, so we can all challenge at all levels regarding how to make our work place and work environments an improving and great  place to work.

 
 A massive thank you to every one involved, as this means we will
have raised over £1600 for Prostate Cancer UK
 
During my time helping complete the surveys a lot of interest was shown in how to find out more about this terrible disease and I will be looking in the future at possibly getting a representative of PCUK to spend time with colleagues discussing all aspects of Prostate Cancer. Colleagues have spoken to me about different experiences; questions and points of concern always cropped up.  Talking and gaining knowledge really helps.
 
I also want to comment on the massive result that Both Colchester and Clacton achieved prior to Christmas raising over £1255 for St Helanas Hospice. Charity work is so rewarding and also helps to engage our customers whilst invoking community spirit.
 
In the week prior to Xmas, Hadleigh and Chelmsford raised over £85 for Prostate Cancer just by donating and wearing a xmas related  item.

On Friday 3rd March I will be available in Clacton Telford road,
between 10.30 and 14.30.

Your Voice 2017

Your Voice 2017 is here and we need as many colleagues to complete the survey as possible.  It's 18 months since our last survey and we need to know what progress we have made to make our work environment a great and safe place to work in.

This is your chance to make a difference. If things are going well then we can still continue to improve and if we need to change some aspects then the company need to know what they are.

Your views count and what you say is key to how we make changes within your depot.


The feedback received is fundamental and changes happen for the better due to the feedback from colleagues.

This years survey is user friendly, simple and quick to complete.  It literally takes no more than 5 minutes of your time.

For each survey completed First Bus are donating £2.  In 2015 Essex raised over £1,800 for Prostate cancer and If memory is correct a donation of around £450 was made to The Essex air ambulance

This week we have donated £750 due to colleagues completing the survey.
Already FIRST BUS has raised over £10,000 in 5 days!!!
