Quote from the top...

Grampian’s people are its greatest asset. We could neither exist nor function as a service-provider without our people. Employees deliver the customer experience and that is down to their values, skills, experiences and behaviour as much as it is about corporate sound bite or strategy. Everything GHA undertakes as a business should be to enhance the service delivery to customers, or around improving the experience, voice, motivation, satisfaction and engagement of its employees. Learning, colleague wellbeing, resilience, appreciation and recognition all define Grampian’s employer brand, enhancing employee experience and boosting satisfaction resulting in a thriving organisation.
