People Promise In Action week to support delivery of the Long Term Workforce Plan
Monday 9 October – Friday 13 October 2023
People Promise In Action week is an opportunity to engage in a week-long series of events to hear about the tangible impacts from those who have been implementing and breathing life into the People Promise.
The People Promise sets out in the words of thousands of staff what will most improve their experience at work and make the NHS the workplace we all want it to be. The week will include sessions mapped against each element of the People Promise and will demonstrate practical improvements across a range of staff experience and engagement metrics, including improved retention.
The week will provide an opportunity to learn from first-hand examples of where progress has been made to support NHS colleagues aligned to the People Promise and to understand what resources are available to deliver the ambitions in the People Promise.
The events are open to all colleagues who lead and line manage people, from board to ward, and colleagues with staff experience within their portfolios.
The hope of People Promise in Action week is to support the retention of existing talent, winter preparedness as well as delivery of the Long Term Workforce Plan.
