The FD Staff Voice is a group of volunteer employee representatives from across the whole service.
They meet regularly to discuss ideas, questions and concerns raised by their colleagues.
It provides challenge on FD-related matters and University initiatives, instigates discussions that find solutions, and helps deliver those solutions.
A forum where staff can participate in the debates that shape their working experience, it encourages the service to work together as ‘One FD’.
How does it work?
Roles:
The group is made up of Staff Voice Ambassadors drawn from each service in the FD.
They:
- Are the nominated staff members who take feedback from their colleagues to Staff Voice meetings
- Attend meetings and participate in change initiatives and projects
- Report back to their colleagues on the outcome of Staff Voice meetings
- Are in role for 12 months
There will also be Staff Voice Champions to support the ambassadors in gathering feedback from colleagues and reporting on Staff Voice activities. Attendance at meetings will not be required unless covering absence.
Each service has one ambassador and at least one champion. Larger services have several champions
Both roles are voluntary and unpaid but offer many opportunities for development.
There will be a Staff Voice Facilitator drawn from outside the FD.
