Welcome to the Second Because you Matter Conversation

The second Conversation is now closed. Thank you so much to everyone who got involved!

Our independent partner, Clever Together, are now busy analysing everything that was said. You can still log in and read through the Conversation, but will be unable to add anything new.

We want to empower everyone to shape the future of our Trust together. The Because you Matter Conversations have been an opportunity to discuss our culture together in an anonymous and safe space.

We will listen to what you said, and together we will develop a culture we’re all a part of and proud of.

Why are we doing this?

We believe that everybody should be heard, and that you hold the answers to many of the challenges we face. We want to give you the opportunity to share your views.

The Because you Matter Conversations are an opportunity to share in a safe environment with the promise that your contributions will be heard, recognised and actioned.
 
By working together to understand the culture we have and the culture we want, we can all have a voice and role to play in creating a culture can be proud of.

How does it work?

The online Conversation works a bit like a social media platform; you can join around your individual work patterns and contribute as much or as little as suits you. Most importantly the process is anonymous and independently facilitated, meaning you can feel safe sharing your honest thoughts and feelings.

Whilst the Conversation is live, you can read, vote and comment on the Ideas your colleagues have shared, as well as share your own.
 
The Conversation is facilitated by our independent partner, Clever Together, who will help you expand on your ideas and analyse everything that is shared at the end.

What should I expect?

The first Because you Matter Conversation ran in October. Then we launched the second one from 16 January - 2 February 2024. Partici[ants could log in as many times as they liked during this 2-week period at any time.
 
Now the Conversation is closed, our independent partner, Clever Together is analysing everything that was said and will provide an in-depth report of the findings.
 
This report will then be used to create a draft action plan from the ideas and suggestions that were contributed, which might include suggestions for changes to our values. 
 
Based on what you told us in the second Conversation, we will make changes to the action plan and create a final version. This will be used to lead us to a culture we are all a part of and are proud of.
