Each year we conduct a staff satisfaction survey, giving colleagues a stronger voice. The survey explores how people feel about their role, the organisation and how communication and dialogue might be improved. Results are shared across the organisation, with each region developing an action plan to follow up on staff feedback.
Denise's Story
For Denise, being a driver is much more than just getting behind the wheel – she gets to know her passengers and sees what a difference our services make.
‘I’ve been driving for HCT Group in Bristol for around 10 years. I started as a volunteer, but then a paid role came up and I decided to go for it. I drive on our Group Transport service and our Dial-a-Ride service.
‘Some people don’t go out from one week to the next, so they look forward to you coming. It’s nice getting to know passengers – some of them I’ve known for years.
‘We do day trips in summer – we go to Weston-Super-Mare, or garden centres, or Cheddar – and make a day of it. People make new friends on those trips, it’s lovely.
‘Day to day, we have a laugh and a joke. There’s a good team here in Bristol. If you’re thinking about applying…? I’d say go for it! It’s really rewarding.’
