DCPU Turret Pilot Update - Units 1 and 4

Result of the Members Ballot.
The purpose of this post is to provide an update from the desk top ballot of members’ who work on the Turrets in Units 1 and 4 on Tuesday 25th November 2008. Thanks to all the members who participated and gave their views.

Due to the roll out of LEAN in parts of the DCPU and also as it had been over a month since we did the walk round audits in Units 1 and 4 we thought that it would be beneficial to obtain up to date feedback (we had previously also held members’ meetings and ballot during the pilot stage).

The results of the questions put to the members on 25th November 2008 were as follows:

a) Do you think that the roll out of the pilot on the Turrets has delivered its stated aims set out in the joint statement about availability on starting/ finishing times?
Yes: 93 No: 40

b) Do you think that the roll out of the pilot on the Turrets has delivered its stated aims set out in the joint statement about being able to state your preference without coercion?
Yes: 85 No: 48

The results varied dependant upon the unit/room/section/area.

The next stage is for the details of the desk top ballot (broken down into rooms) to be raised with Senior DCPU Management.

A feedback circular will hopefully be issued providing an update.
