Details

This publication is for civil servants who wish to set up staff networks in their home departments. It contains help and guidance on how to run and manage a network effectively, as well as contact details for networks that already exist.

Employee networks are an important way of providing support for our staff, with many benefits including:

  • build a sense of community across geographical boundaries
  • give a collective voice on issues
  • provide consultation for people-related policy changes
  • offer a listening ear for employees
  • provide peer support
  • support the Talent Action Plan diversity and inclusion agenda
  • promote career progression
