OUR NATIONAL FORUM IS A POWERFUL<br />
FORCE TOWARDS SHAPING AN<br />
ORGANISATION CULTURE WHERE OUR<br />
PEOPLE ARE FULLY ENGAGED AND FEEL<br />
TRULY EMPOWERED<br />
Take a group of passionate colleague representatives and a team<br />
of committed Boots leaders. Then place both in an environment<br />
of open, honest and constructive discussion. Welcome to a typical<br />
National Forum meeting.<br />
Giving voice to colleagues at the highest level, the National Forum<br />
is a crucial part of Boots life. Its actions make Boots a better place to<br />
work, and using colleague insight makes the company more agile<br />
and customer-focused too. Every quarter, the National Forum meets<br />
to discuss three key areas: our customers, our people and our<br />
business. The outcome is presented to our Executive Leadership<br />
team with a view to action and resolution.<br />

“Being a Forum member is hard work, but when you<br />
know you’re making a difference, no matter how<br />
small – it’s definitely worth it. It has helped me to see<br />
that people genuinely care about making the business<br />
better for our people and our customers.<br />
“My proudest moment would be helping to present<br />
the feedback to the Exec team for the first time.”<br />
OUR CURRENT FORUM REPS RECEIVED THE SPECIAL RECOGNITION AWARD AT THIS<br />
YEAR’S BEST OF THE BEST FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK DURING THEIR TERM.<br />
Heads held high<br />
Our current National Forum reps are coming to the end<br />
of their three years in the role. We found out what it’s<br />
like to be the driving force in shaping our business…<br />
Amanda Haynes<br />
Assistant Buying Manager –<br />
Rep for Boots Brands Exclusives<br />
“My proudest moment while being a National Forum rep<br />
was representing Boots in London at The Times Top 25<br />
places to work.<br />
“My advice to new members would be to listen to<br />
what people are telling you – if they’ve taken the time to<br />
approach you with something, whether good or bad, they<br />
deserve your full attention.<br />
“Being a Forum member has helped me to understand<br />
how the business works and that sometimes it isn’t<br />
possible to ‘just fix something’. You also get to meet and<br />
make friends with a lot of people across the business.”<br />
