We are committed to developing and maintaining a culture where everyone feels valued and a true sense of belonging, regardless of their characteristics, a place where staff are proud to work and would recommend our hospitals as a place to work.
Our culture
Our cultural
journey
As a Trust, we are building a culture around teamwork, leadership, inclusion, and creating a safe environment where individuals feel empowered to speak up. Through our Staff Experience Improvement Programme, we are focused on cultivating a workplace where differences are celebrated, and every team member feels valued, supported, and motivated to contribute. We are creating an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and make a meaningful impact.
01
Teamwork development
Our Teamwork Development Workstream is focused on strengthening collaboration, communication, and trust within and across teams, helping to build a more connected, supportive, and high-performing workplace.
02
Supporting a safe speaking up culture
Our Safe Speaking Up Workstream is dedicated to creating a culture where all staff feel confident, supported, and protected when raising concerns, ensuring every voice is heard and valued.
03
Inappropriate
behaviours
We’ve launched a new Inappropriate Behaviours Workstream to actively address and prevent inappropriate behaviours across our Trust, including discrimination, building a culture where everyone feels safe, respected and supported.
Equality, Diversity
and Inclusion
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion is at the heart of who we are and how we work. We recognise that an inclusive culture is essential to creating a workplace where everyone feels respected, supported, and able to thrive. It’s about building a sense of belonging, celebrating our differences, and ensuring fairness in everything we do.
Workplace wellbeing
We’re dedicated to creating a workplace where physical and psychological wellbeing are not only supported, but actively promoted and prioritised. Our wellbeing initiatives are designed to meet the diverse needs of our workforce, offering a range of support, resources, and opportunities to help our staff.
Rewards and benefits
We believe in recognising the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our staff by offering a comprehensive range of rewards and benefits. When you join our team, you’re not just starting a job, you’re becoming part of a supportive community that values your wellbeing, growth, and contribution.
Flexible
working
Flexible working is about supporting you to have greater choice in where, when and how you work. We know many of our colleagues really value having this choice and for some, it is necessary in order to work at all. We offer a number of flexible working opportunities to help staff combine work and home life.
Community
connections
We engage with local residents and support partner organisations with health and wellbeing checks, offering information in multiple languages, and identifying barriers to accessing care. This work has been instrumental in guiding people to appropriate services and helping to alleviate the strain on emergency services.
Staff
experience
Making the Trust a better place to work. The annual NHS Staff Survey is one of the largest workforce surveys in the world and it is open for Gloucestershire Hospitals colleagues to take part. We want the Trust to be a place where we are all proud to work and that we feel we can provide the best care.
Freedom to
Speak Up
We are committed to a culture where staff feel able to openly raise their concerns with the clear expectation that they will be listened to, their concerns taken seriously and acted upon. Our Lead Freedom To Speak Up Guardian works closely with staff to understand and support safe speaking up.
