Empowering Change, Inspiring Results:
OneNUHS Pulse Survey 2023
Thank you JHC, for your collective efforts in improving our workplace and culture!
This marks the fourth year of our OneNUHS Pulse Survey, concluded in October last year. This survey is a short health check to measure the progress of our OneNUHS Employee Engagement Survey (EES) action plans and monitor the level of sustainable engagement within NUHS. It is part of our continuous effort to improve and understand what is working well and what can be done better.
The 4-week survey, conducted from 25 Sep to 20 Oct 2023, focused on two key areas - Sustainable Engagement and the perception of a "Safe to Speak Up" environment.
The Sustainable Engagement (SE) Index measures how connected, resourced and motivated each employee in their workplace. Comprising of three key focus areas – Engaged, Enabled and Energised, it allows the organisation to measure how well they are doing for their employees. The combination of 10 opinion-based questions and one open ended question provides employees a platform to voice and provide their honest feedback.
The Pulse survey results with a participation rate 81% unveiled a collective effort to enhance workplace dynamics and culture, with improvement in SE Index compared the EES2022.
The JHC Sustainable Engagement (SE) Index shows a substantial 5-point (+5%) increase compared to EES2022. This is a positive affirmation that our employee engagement and well-being efforts are on the right track.
Departmental Breakdown:
Across all job families, the Ancillary (88%) and Nursing (86%) departments emerged as leaders in sustainable engagement, boasting the highest SEI scores. Notably, all job families demonstrated improvements, with the exception of Administration, which experienced a slight dip.
