We’re delighted to announce that the British Society for Immunology has won an Agenda Employee Engagement Award 2024. Towards the end of 2024, we undertook a staff engagement survey, run on our behalf by independent providers, Agenda Consulting. The award is provided to their clients who received high scores across the survey.
Ensuring staff wellbeing and engagement is very important to us at the BSI. This independent survey provided us with the means to benchmark against other similar organisations how our staff experience their roles as well as the leadership, communications and culture within the BSI. This not only provided us with good insight into our current effectiveness, but also allowed us to identify areas for continual improvement.
100% of our staff completed the survey, which is an extremely high response rate. Across all areas, the BSI received very positive feedback from staff with scores significantly above average including in the areas of team working, communications, engagement, leadership and EDI.
“We’re so pleased to see that the results of the staff survey indicate a fantastic level of engagement across the team,” said Doug Brown, Chief Executive of the BSI. “Myself and the Senior Management Team at the BSI put great emphasis on ensuring that we provide a positive, inclusive working environment for our staff. I’m immensely proud of our team and it is their expertise and hard work that allows us to achieve so much for the immunology community.”
Doug continued, “From this survey, one area that we will put a particular focus on over the coming year is around learning and development for our staff members, ensuring we provide a tailored approach to best cater to the career development of individuals.”
The BSI will continue to carry out this staff survey in future years to allow us to track our progression and maintain our high standard.
