"Understanding the needs of staff will help in the big decisions ahead."
Karen, Chief Communicator
The challenge.
Covid-19 has brought the world to a standstill.
Following lockdown, staff are returning to a new business landscape. Understanding the needs of staff will help in the big decisions ahead. Staff may have worries about a range of things: social distancing measures, public transport commuting, operating safely in a field-based or office environment and other issues you may not have considered.
Supporting your staff in the workplace is not only your responsibility as an employer, it’s your moral duty. You can hope that you get it right, or you can communicate with your workforce to find out what matters to them, deliver meaningful messages and monitor engagement by analysing what the data tells you.
Now that businesses have dealt with the first crisis phase, it's important that we move into the second recovery phase in a strategic way.
The solution.
CommsbankPulse is a staff engagement framework that checks the pulse of your workplace.
We have joined forces with Smithfield Performance, specialists in measuring employee behaviour and opinion, to offer a quick data-rich survey that informs communications with staff to ensure you are providing the information they desire, not what you think they need.
FAQs.
Step 1: Our survey is short, fast and efficient, giving a snapshot of how people are feeling, what their needs are and their areas of concern during the next few weeks/months. A comprehensive question-set of 20 questions can be tailored to provide a robust and meaningful insight for your business.
Step 2: It's a fast turn-around for reporting. You can set the deadline for questionnaire responses so that you can take the temperature, and move rapidly into planning and decision-making. We will explore the findings during a two-hour Zoom call and make recommendations for a staff engagement strategy that reflects your survey results.
Step 3: We will provide a toolkit of resources to help you get started. Our communications roadmap will enable you to identify the requirements of your stakeholders to keep them engaged and motivated, ensuring that the right communications channels are being utilised to provide concise messaging.

Costs are dependent on the size of your workforce.
For example, for up to 25 people surveyed the cost would be £999. That means that for less than £40 per person, you can find out what matters to your staff, and make informed decisions to engage and motivate your workforce at a time when they need it the most.
Please get in touch to find out what that means for your organisation.
We have experienced change that before 2020, would have seemed unimaginable. As we start to pick apart what might happen next, effective communication has never been more important. This level of uncertainty is overwhelming and challenging. In times of profound change, people need reassurance, support and interaction. Effectively supporting your workforce comes down to consistent and regular communications, but first you must listen to understand what matters to them.
