BrisDoc’s “Our Voice” Annual Co-Owners Survey
The last Our Voice survey ran in 2024 and reports were shared with teams.
In 2024 year we achieved a 65% response rate.
Why your voice matters
Your feedback helps shape real change. When we understand what co-owners need, and what gets in the way, we can:
-
improve how teams work day to day
-
strengthen leadership and communication
-
focus our efforts on what matters most to co-owners
-
keep building a workplace where people can grow and thrive
What’s new this year?
A new Our Voice survey platform
We’ve moved Our Voice to Culture Amp to make the experience smoother and more accessible. This is consistent with the quarterly Wellbeing Surveys. The upgrade means:
-
a quicker, easier way to complete the survey
-
clearer insights, shared with everyone shortly after the survey closes
-
stronger confidentiality, with your individual responses more securely protected than ever
A new survey timeframe
Following co-owner feedback, we’ve moved the survey from November to April. This helps avoid clashes with national surveys and reduces survey fatigue, so Your Voice can get the focus it deserves.
To help us track progress year on year, the questions remain unchanged.
FAQs

How long does the survey take to complete?
Even though we have changed survey provider, the survey questions remain the same, so it should take 10mins to complete, through a simple interface. Your manager will support and enable you to set aside time to complete the survey in one go (answers cannot be saved part-way through). Please do try to complete the survey within working hours, as compensation is not offered for completing it outside of this. If you’re struggling to find time to complete the survey, have a chat with your manager.
We recognise there are lots of staff surveys – local and national (e.g. the national NHS staff survey) – but please do prioritise Our Voice.
Are my survey responses condfidential?
Our Voice is run by an external company called Culture Amp – For this survey, identifiable data including survey responses, demographics and comments may be made available only to the nominated BrisDoc L&OD administrators, Millie O’Keeffe and Alison Barrett and not shared. If you have any questions about how this data may be used, please contact Workforce Support. Protecting confidentiality is extremely important and Culture Amp employs many measures to ensure no responder is identifiable in reports.
Reports are not produced for teams without 5 or more survey responses. This is to ensure no responder is identifiable through their personal data.
Responders could be identified is if they include identifiable or specific details in their free text question responses – these will not be shared widely with all co-owners. Anonymised quotes from the free text data may be used in future BrisDoc communications and marketing materials – however the removal of these can be requested anonymously using the suggestions box below or by emailing workforcesupport@brisdoc.org
What will be done following the Our Voice survey?
The L&OD team will receive extensive reports at organisational, service, and team level from Culture Amp. Managers will receive reports for their teams/services and will be supported by the People team to interpret and utilise the Culture Amp data and form action plans based on the feedback. The data will also inform our BrisDoc organisational strategy and future development initiatives.
I'm a Manager, will I get a team report?
Every manager of team with more than 5 member responses will receive a team-level report. Any teams under 5 members will not receive a report, or may be given access to report at the next level up in the hierarchy, in order to see an overview. This is to protect the anonymity of responders.
Will I get a report if I am not a manager?
Yes, all survey respondents will receive a summary report for BrisDoc and for their primary service.
