A new Compass survey has revealed that 98% of its staff use the organisation’s values in their work every day.
Also, 95% of the over 300 staff say they do their best work for Compass and that they apply its principles of equality, diversity and inclusion at work.
And 94% agree that they understand Compass’s purpose and strategy.
The figures are published in Compass’s Your Voice survey of staff, which was conducted in October, 2023.
In all, 84% of staff completed the survey.
Kim Jones, Compass People Director, said: “This figure, in itself, is an incredibly positive indicator of colleague engagement.
“It is fantastic to see that we are getting important elements right as an employer.
“Understanding both our values, purpose and mission is what unites all of us under the Compass family. Regardless of where we work in the country and what service or department we work in, it is clear that we understand what our overall, common purpose is and how we should best deliver that.
