BANES highly commended for Employee Engagement initiative

Congratulations to Bath and North East Somerset local council who were highly commended for their Employee Engagement Project of the Year submission.  The Awards recognize and celebrate the people-companies who remake the way organisations think about and engage people to achieve their purpose.

Achieve Breakthrough were central to the success of the employee engagement project, with their design of the 10 in 100 initiative, a powerful element which engaged staff, managers and leaders across the council.

Mike Straw, founder of Achieve Breakthrough said:

"We are so delighted to hear that Bath and North East Somerset local council have been highly commended for their entry. Particularly when Local Government has faced and continues to be challenged by ever decreasing funding from Central Government and staff are constantly challenged to look at how they deliver on Council ambitions despite the reduction in resources. BANES thoroughly deserve this recognition."

The 10 in 100 initiative delivers 10 projects in 100 days, the projects are sourced from a pool of staff ideas for tangible improvements in service delivery. All project submissions are reviewed by a selection panel and then the chosen 10 teams are supported through a project development and training programme, a ‘Dragon’ sponsor and a coach.

“It is so great to see projects from right across the Council which help our own staff and also the citizens of Bath and North East Somerset.” Deputy Leader of the Council
