As a Trust, it is our collective ambition to improve the working lives and experiences of all colleagues at DBTH and to embed an inclusive and open organisational culture, whilst also working positively with our neighbouring and partner organisations within the two regions we serve.
We strive to be an employer of choice and to do this, we need to make sure our people feel like they belong. This strategy sets out how we hope to achieve this through leadership and team development, reward and recognition and supporting our individuals to feel confident in speaking up.
Here at DBTH, we also know that that a more motivated and happier workforce, with the right skills and tools to do their jobs, positively impacts on patient care and safety. This strategy also describes the health and wellbeing, and development opportunities we intend to provide to support this ambition in the coming years.
Finally, we wanted to acknowledge the need for us to make sure that our workforce can meet the needs of the communities we serve, as those needs grow and change. In order to do this, we will need to consider how we can grow our future workforce and ensure that those who train with us at DBTH, stay with us. This means a focus on career development and pathways through all stages of your journey with the NHS, along with talent management and succession planning.
