Health and social care - everyone matters pulse survey: national report 2020

Independent report by Webropol providing detailed information and analysis of staff experience in health and social care during the initial COVID-19 period.


Pride

Throughout the survey there is evidence of the pride and sense of achievement that many staff feel. Though the iMatter component rating is 3 points below the 2019 score, over two-thirds of staff score their sense of achievement at work as 'Strive and Celebrate'.

Across the Boards NHS Shetland is the highest scoring Geographic Board (82).

NHS National Services Scotland is the only Board that has increased its score for 'sense of achievement', from 78 in iMatter 2019 to 79 in the Pulse Survey. Through the COVID-19 Pandemic NHS National Services Scotland has run several vital and highly visible projects, as illustrated below, that would likely promote a sense of achievement among staff involved.
