The Isle of Wight NHS Trust has been shortlisted for a Healthcare People Management Association (HPMA) award.
This nomination is for the delivery of a successful collaboration project with trade unions which has improved flexible working opportunities for all employees.
The human resources and trade union team worked together to redesign the flexible working policy from scratch, as well as developing a new manager training and support package which offers all new starters at the Trust flexible working from their first day.
Jay Chappell, Unison and Staff Side Lead:
“We are incredibly proud to have been shortlisted for a HPMA award. This demonstrates the strong partnership working we have at our Trust and how we are committed to ensuring we are providing staff with the opportunity to have conversations around flexible working.”
Amy Rolf, People Partner, Isle of Wight NHS Trust said:
“Being shortlisted for this award is fantastic recognition of what we have been able to achieve over the last few years through collaborative working.”
Sam Osbon, People Partner, Isle of Wight NHS Trust said:
“Having an embedded partnership approach with our trade union colleagues is at the heart of everything we do. Our flexible working project is one of the many examples of how we work collaboratively within the Trust.
“Our Staff Side Chair has a seat at Trust Board and is a key member of several key sub-committees, which means we have built mutual trust and confidence which is key to co-designing and co-creating policy frameworks that benefit our patients and our people.”
The HPMA Excellence in People Awards recognises and celebrates the work of people professionals across the UK. The awards ceremony will be held in Leeds on Tuesday 19th September which is Day 1 of the UK conference and exhibition.
Flexible working, over paid managers are doing that anyway, it’s only the frontline staff that are being hammered by the so called “managers”. Makes you wonder if any of the so called managers are even qualified for their precious jobs, strip down the management and things could get better.
Derek spot on .. I had first hand experience of St Fairies A&E dept this week.. staff following each other around, the triage process a waste of time,, they chose who the next punter is .. so after 4hrs sitting in a building site called A&E facility, to be given a prescription that could only be administered by St Fairies pharmacy, which was closed.. so another parking fee and 1st in the queue the next day and a 40 minute wait .. it’s not the staff it’s about the incompetent management and no existent left and right hand coordination..
Meanwhile those waiting for appointments/treatment are having to wait for extended periods while the paper pushers clap themselves on the back for a job well done
I thought they were always overwhelmed, not overwhelmed for such tosh.
That explains the poor staff morale then!!!!
