For #TeamEEAST Last updated: 18 May 2024 at 04:51
Our LGBT+ and Disability and Neurodiversity surveys are still open for you you to have your say and share your experiences of working at EEAST.
We have commissioned both surveys as a result of historical indications and feedback within the Trust of different and less favourable experiences for some of our colleagues who have declared themselves as either neurodiverse, disabled, lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
As a Trust, we are committed to both understanding why these differences in experiences exist, and to putting in place actions that will address the underlying causes of these negative experiences so that we can make EEAST an even better place to work.
Each survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete and has been developed by our external specialist partner organisation - McKenzie LLP. It is completed anonymously, in the strictest of confidence and will be returned directly to McKenzie - not EEAST - who will compile a summary of results and report these in an anonymised format back to the Trust.
You can complete each survey by clicking the links below.
In March, all employees who identify in either – or both - of the above groups will be asked if they wish to take part in a short confidential telephone interview with McKenzie to detail their own personal experiences of working in the Trust as an employee who is LGBT, neurodiverse or who has a disability.
From the resulting report we will be fully engaging with our staff networks and taking steps to develop actions to help improve our workplace for all.
Please do take the time to share your thoughts and experiences so we can gather a clear picture of where there are problems and work to address these.
Thank you
