The roadshow went to each of the colleges over<br />
a 1-week period in mid-January. Firstly, the<br />
directors met with the college management to<br />
discuss progress and planning for the college<br />
and to discuss some of the major issues raised<br />
in the feedback. Then the directors met all of<br />
the staff to give a presentation on a variety of<br />
topics, designed to inform staff and to advise<br />
them that we were taking their feedback<br />
seriously. In Al Quwayiyah and Jazan we were<br />
also fortunate enough to be able to hear from<br />
Yvonne Thomas (our Managing Director) and<br />
Paul Hepburn (our Commercial Director) who<br />
were visiting from the UK.<br />
Each session ended with an open forum which<br />
varying degrees of involvement. Taking that<br />
feedback and the survey results, we have<br />
identified some issues that we as directors<br />
will address at our weekly Senior Management<br />
Team meetings. The responses to the survey<br />
have been published on SharePoint as have the<br />
responses to the main issues raised at each<br />
college.<br />
Don’t worry if you were unable to let us know<br />
your opinion or great idea. We have published on<br />
SharePoint all of the directors’ contact details and<br />
you are welcome to contact us. As the directors<br />
SMT meeting addresses each of the main issues<br />
raised, updates on progress will be published in<br />
this newsletter. And, of course, we will be holding<br />
another roadshow in early October to present on<br />
how far we have travelled and to address any new<br />
concerns that might have arisen.<br />
ROADSHOW<br />
In September 2016, Interserve held its annual<br />
survey “Everyone has a Voice”. This survey<br />
is across the entire 85,000 Interserve staff<br />
worldwide. In our particular corner there<br />
were several issues raised which the directors<br />
of ILE in KSA took on board. It was clear<br />
that communication, both up and down the<br />
organisation, was inadequate so the first thing we<br />
decided to do was to get out and talk to people.<br />
The concept of the Roadshow for born, to enable<br />
the directors to meet the team and directly<br />
address some of your issues.<br />
To test the waters, each of the areas where the<br />
company scored poorly needed to be understood<br />
in more detail. An anonymous survey (and yes,<br />
it was entirely anonymous, despite the fears of<br />
some) enabled us to ask more open questions<br />
relating to the key areas of Communications,<br />
Environment, Development, Benefits, Heath &<br />
Safety, Accommodation and Job Satisfaction.<br />
Communication<br />
Development<br />
Work Environment<br />
Job Benefits<br />
Job Satisfaction<br />
