8 months ago we had a chance to to have our say. Some took the opportunity to voice their opinion, many didn't. Now we are in a new year it is time to see whether we have done what we said and we have built trust in offices and listened to your concerns. I know in my office we have had a really challenging year and we are most definitely not where we want to be. Unless you tell it how it is, how are we going to address the issues? Where Royal Mail are doing things right, let them know. But more importantly, we need to engage with the survey to show where we need to improve. If staff are are not bothered about telling Royal Mail about the issues that affect them on a daily basis, don't be surprised if issues remain unresolved and we keep working the same way when we could have it so much better. This survey has joint agreement with the CWU and if anyones needs support to fill in the online survey, please contact your local Rep and we can try to help. You have to chance to influence what happens in your office, don't waste it. Look out for the posters in your workplace for further information.
