Working with the Centre for Human Factors provided the key evidence required. Working with the team showed the level of research that has gone into this and gave that credibility it needed. They were understanding and willing to make necessary adjustments to the scope of the project. Communication was clear throughout every step, a completely transparent process. I have never been part of a more positive project before.

Any organisation who is serious about investing in a way that genuinely addressed the Health and Wellbeing of their staff needs to understand where their gap are – not just where they think they are and this project helped us to do that. I would recommend the approach to others. Overall, a really positive experience working with an entirely professional and very organised team, couldn’t have asked for anymore. Highly recommend.

When public sector budgets are so tight, you must make really good use of the money you have. I really believe in the risk assessment approach, this work has been great. We worried about whether people would engage - but we achieved a 60% response rate in frontline services! This work is real Organisational Development, and will actually make a real tangible difference.

All organisations/councils should be doing this work and acting on it. This was a really collaborative project and positive experience, which I am glad to have been involved in. A very supportive process and strong communication with the Centre for Human Factors team, who were passionate and enthusiastic throughout.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you! For me one of the biggest struggles is not feeling like I have a voice and I feel like today you gave me that!

Thank you to you and your team for all the hard work and effort that you have put into this study and report. I am confident that this will be a real springboard to inform the refinement of our Wellbeing Strategy and activity going forward. It is a great piece of work!

It was really interesting to be part of the focus group. It felt like it was good for me to be able to ‘put’ ’stuff’ somewhere where it could be heard - so from my point of view it was helpful for me to have the opportunity!

The fact that it was run externally provided our staff with the confidence to speak freely without fear that the comments would be attributed to them. It also gave participants the confidence that the focus groups would be conducted in a completely non-partisan way and the outcome would not be influenced by pre-conceived views or ideas. The academic credibility gave the findings the significant weight that it required.

ENA (Energy Network Association) and its members have been engaged with The Centre for Human Factors for several years and have always found their in-depth knowledge into human factors and of course the concept of ‘fatigue’ exceptionally insightful. The CHF team's efforts on the ERFIN project have been professional and the overall process has been seamless. We look forward to seeing more of the outputs as the project continues .
