Why has The Deep joined Working Voices?

Louise Kirby, Ops & Personnel Manager said:

"The Deep is delighted to be forging links with NHS Hull and to be part of the Working Voices initiative. With over 160 members of staff, The Deep is an active employer of local residents and we can see the benefits of helping our crew to give their opinions about the NHS, to the NHS, when consultation is being sought. Doing this in a conventional way can be difficult for those of us who work unusual shift patterns; in the leisure and tourism industry we work when others play!

"The Deep also sees this as opportunity for its workforce to voice its needs for how the NHS can support healthy living, working together as a supportive community to promote positive lifestyle choices."
