What key challenges are you currently facing in your role?

Steve Bridger

Hello Community members!

I haven't asked these questions for a while, and two years since I asked How are you all doing? so a timely check in, I think. 

What key activities are you currently completing in your role?

What key challenges are you currently facing in your role?

What challenges can you see coming around the corner in the next few months?

What is keeping you up at night? (hopefully nothing, but...)

Really interested to read your comments.

  • What key activities are you currently completing in your role?
    Reviews of pay and pensions for different groups of staff; complex subject access request; staff survey and related actions; managing change.

    What key challenges are you currently facing in your role?
    See above! Trying to make things better without the budget that would be needed to do it all in the way you'd want to. Needing to plan for and respond to things beyond your control - but will nonetheless impact.

    What challenges can you see coming around the corner in the next few months?
    Legislative change that will impact on income with a future change in government, and how we manage that as positively as we can.

    What is keeping you up at night?
    The impossibility of balancing different priorities, when you have a genuine desire to do the right thing by the people you work with. I've always chosen to work in a relatively small organisation, so I'm close to the people whose jobs I support. For the first time, I'm thinking that I'd like a bit of distance!

    Hmmm. That all reads as pretty downbeat, but in truth I love what I do. But I would definitely admit that I'm ready for my summer break!
