• Performing organisations = engaged staff, going the extra

• With strong leadership and good management

• With open trusted communications

• Where staff are valued and thus deliver

• Because high staff engagement = high resident satisfaction

• Even more critical in this financial context

My message is quite simple…

Page 4: Fiona narburgh

• 2007 LGC Council of the Year

• 2008 Times Best Council to Work For; 11th best satisfaction with council, 9th best for VFM in UK Place Survey

• 2009 Top rating for VFM; 8th lowest council tax in Country

• 2010 Customer Service Excellence and IIP Gold and Champion

• 2011 Up 10pts on Value for Money satisfaction in Worcestershire Local Place Survey

The good times…

The bad times …

Where we were

• Performance was average• Inspection meant interference • Staff weren’t proud to work here• Customer service was patchy• Departments did their own thing

A middle England, mediocre council

So what makes the difference?

Page 6: Fiona narburgh

“… our strong performance is all down to the engagement of our people; we

simply couldn’t deliver the great deal residents expect from us without the

motivated team we now have.”

Jack Hegarty, Managing Director

• PricewaterhouseCoopers; strong correlation between highly engaged staff and client satisfaction.

• Chartered Management Institute; significant association with

between engagement and innovation.
