Measurable performance improvement is not just financial

Measurable performance improvement is not just financial, nor is it the sole preserve of the private sector. Here’s Kingston NHS Trust Chief Executive, Kate Grimes, on the difference staff engagement makes to patient outcomes.

To borrow from Kate, nearly every measure of performance is improved if you create a happy workplace where staff are fully engaged. So, if you want to improve results, financial or otherwise, then one of the key things to focus on is making sure your people are happy and engaged at work.

If you are interested in finding out more about how to make this happen then please feel free to send an email to Henry Stewart at henry@happy.co.uk to discuss what is involved or call +44 20 7375 7300 to talk to a member of our customer services team who should be able to put you in touch with one of our specialists in this area.
