Hi all,
This is my first post, so please forgive me if I don't get it right.
I am looking to introduce an informal chat with all staff on our payroll, where I discuss their well being. I want to ensure stress and mental health if an issue is covered and generally find out how they are doing and do they feel they are progressing and have the right tools available to them.
Currently we have 28 staff on the books and also have long term temps. Initially I would start with the staff on our payroll.
I am looking to carry these out every 3 months.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should call these meetings and any questions I should ask.
The thought process behind these meeting are as follows.
There are three of us who run the day to day operations of the company and we all look after more than one area. My job is Head of Customer Service & Business Support, which does include HR and Training. I know that mental health is very important and stress is something that is unavoidable in our industry as we are a service provider, however we as a company want to ensure we work with our staff and alleviate as much as we can. Both myself and my boss (the MD) have come from large corporate companies and are keen to introduce the good stuff and avoid the bad stuff (if that makes sense). All of our managers apart from us two are new to management and are in the 2nd to 3rd year now. We want to ensure the staff are happy, feel like they are valued and are receiving the correct leadership and training. I am currently in the process of putting all the staff through various QCF's that are specific to their job and ability, abnd this was rolled out as voluntary not compulsory and all staff signed up.
I am hoping to keep progressing the company with new and exciting ways for staff to develop and see our company as a good place to work.
Any advise or feedback will be greatly appreciated.
