Saint Catherine's Gains "Great Place to Work" Accreditation

Tuesday, 8 November 2022 06:00

By Matthew Pells

Scarborough's Saint Catherine’s Hospice has been successful in gaining accreditation under the ‘Great Place to Work’ scheme.

The charity asked all of its staff to fill in a detailed questionnaire, which looked at how people felt about working for the hospice.

Working with the team at Great Place to Work, an organisation which looks at building and recognising excellence in the workplace, the data was analysed and showed some positive results.

  • 95% said ‘when I look at what we accomplish I feel a sense of pride’.
  • 91% said ‘when you join the organisation you are made to feel welcome’.
  • 91% said they would rate the service we deliver as ‘excellent’.
  • 90% said ‘I’m proud to tell others I work here’.
  • 90% said ‘I feel good about the ways in which we contribute to the community’.

The survey results also showed that the majority of staff said they could count on and support each other, work well as a team and were willing to give extra for the benefit of the team.

The charity is now working on an action plan, based on the survey responses, which will look at driving up standards even further and making sure that people continue to be happy in the workplace.

Mike Wilkerson, chief executive, said:

“Saint Catherine’s is committed to providing the best possible workplace experience for all our staff. A critical component of creating this environment is building an organisation which values our people and offers a place that provides both challenge and recognition.

“We are delighted to be accredited as a Great Place to Work and will continue to work with staff on feedback, ideas and suggestions in order to continuously improve our workplace.”
