b) Data collated electronically commenced in October 2019. Data collected since that time has shown 112 mental health staff have completed this feedback.

Calvary Public Hospital Bruce (CPHB) offer every staff member the opportunity to provide written feedback and undertake an exit interview. The number of staff that have provided feedback is not captured in an easily retrievable manner.

3) Due to the confidentiality and primarily anonymous nature of the CHS exit survey process, job title and classification are not provided for reporting purposes. As feedback is provided through open ended responses, we are unable to supply the top 10 types of feedback however we have listed the top three responses to questions in the survey.

The top three reasons staff listed as their reason for leaving CHS were:

I. Promotion or new employment opportunity;

II. Change in personal circumstances; and

III. Interstate or overseas transfer.

The above three reasons accounted for 70 per cent of all responses received.

When asked what the best thing was about working at CHS, the top responses were:

I. Team and work colleagues,

II. Learning and development opportunities, and

III. Being in a supportive environment.

When asked what CHS could do better, the top responses were:

I. Less paperwork and better technology,

II. More leadership and management development, and

III. More opportunities for personal development.

When asked if they would be interested to work for CHS again, 56 per cent commented yes with the remainder leaving the question blank or stating no

CPHB have advised the information for this question is not captured in an easily retrievable format, however anecdotally, the main reason for staff exits is employment opportunity.
