Value-Focused Trust Induction Programme

Mersey Care NHS Trust has an ambition to be recognised as the leading organisation in the provision of mental health care, addiction services and learning disability care, with quality, recovery and wellbeing at the heart of everything it does. As such the Trust has completely transformed its staff induction process, developing a unique programme in January 2014 that focuses on embedding its culture and values into the hearts and minds of staff. Developing a value-focused induction programme raises standards for patient care and makes staff feel more valued within the organisation.A Trust induction programme does not traditionally enjoy a reputation for being engaging or ‘hands on’, but the objective of this programme was to have an upbeat, interactive approach that would not only engage staff but also inspire participants within their future role.
