Staff who are NOT safe, warm, nourished, hydrated and energised will:

👉 Make mistakes
👉 Forget things
👉 Be agitated
👉 Panic
👉 Be less productive
👉 Not thrive
👉 Cut corners to cope
👉 Want to avoid
👉 Miss crucial things
👉 Eventually collapse

Get basic needs right! #NHS

What will you do to help ensure staffs basic wellbeing needs are in place? Start small. Start somewhere.

If you care about staff, keeping them happy & motivated, you’ll make sure their basic needs are met

Simple things to help them do their job well: Breaks, rest space, kindness, a desk space & kitchen

You might not be able to meet them all but can do what we can @NeedsAtWork

And here’s why we are campaigning for basic needs in the #NHS - everyone needs access to basic facilities regardless of job title, role or grade.

No one cares where band 5 milk goes…just get it out of my sight.

Hear lots about what organisations and leaders CAN’T influence for basic needs e.g pay rates, however, there is so much they CAN influence & should start to do so

Even things that can’t be influenced, having honest conversations, empathy and supporting staff goes a long way
