Guidance materials

There are two versions of the 2022 NHS Staff Survey guidance, one for participating organisations and one for contractors.

There is also a summary of the key changes to the 2021 NHS Staff Survey results and a document to help participating organisations achieve a good survey response rate.

Communications Toolkit

Last year a template communications toolkit was produced with a range of assets to support staff engagement, HR and comms colleagues in promoting the survey to their staff through their own internal communications and engagement channels.

Building on your positive feedback, the assets have been updated for 2022 and there are also some new additions. These include some assets aimed at bank only workers, who can take part in the survey for the first time this year through a tailored questionnaire.

The Introduction to the Comms Toolkit provides a list of all available assets. Posters, social media cards, email signatures and more are available in the Comms asset pack. In addition, check out these promotional videos which can be used to support your own engagement activities:
