GF Strong (GFS), UBC Hospital (UBCH) and the Diamond Health Care Centre (DHCC) staff and physicians are challenging their VGH colleagues to see who can score the highest response rate on the Gallup survey.

In its first year, VGH had a response rate of 53 per cent while UBCH was close with 50 per cent , DHCC had an impressive 75 per cent and GFS had 39 per cent.

This year, GFS, UBCH and DHCC staff and physicians will make sure their voices are heard and are striving for a 100 per-cent response rate. If GFS can achieve 100 per cent on accreditation, we can definitely achieve 100 per cent on the People First Survey

This is your chance to provide feedback!

Get engaged!

Here are some recent ideas from VCH leaders to encourage staff to complete the quick survey:

  • Email encouragement to staff
  • Discuss survey at department meetings
  • Challenge department to get 100 per-cent completion rate
  • Face-to-face encouragement to participate
  • Create enthusiasm for survey at team meetings
  • Hold a celebration after everyone has taken the survey

Your opinion counts!

If you want your voice to be heard, whether it’s around safety or other issues, you can complete the VCH 2013 People First Survey here if you have your confidential code. Or fill out the survey on form that was sent to you last week.
