Thank you for participating in the employee survey last September. Your thoughts and perspectives are valuable and will help build a better workplace and a stronger, more effective London team.

Here are a few of the highlights from the survey:

• We had a great response rate of 70%
  
  
• Our team reached a 48% positive in the Fairness questions, and we are struggling more at 40% positive in the areas of Respect and Camaraderie
  
  
• The data you provided confirms that while Management is approachable, there continues to be a challenge with assigning and coordinating people
  
  
• Overall we have a good amount of trust with our individual managers at 56% positive

We’ve looked at the survey data and read all of your comments, some of the areas need to be more deeply understood so that we can address the root causes. We need your help for this deeper understanding.

As part of our follow-through and actioning areas that need attention, we have asked Frank Newman, Great Place to Work Accredited Professional to facilitate focus groups with employees.

Each shift will be given the opportunity to participate. This is a completely confidential process managed by Great Place to Work. All data and information collected will be anonymous and shared in an overall report without specific employee information.

Stay tuned for the date and time when you can participate in the Focus Groups and help make Pactiv a great workplace.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Focus Group?

A focus group is a structured workshop with a group of employees. Focus groups are typically used by Human Resources or management following on from your employee survey to drill down into specific challenges and to brainstorm ideas for improvement.

How Does a Focus Group Work?

During a focus group, a facilitator asks participants verbal, open-ended questions to spur varied and nuanced responses. It’s an environment where attendees are encouraged to speak freely and engage with each other. Observing interactions and nonverbal communications allows the moderator to hone in on what employees are genuinely thinking and feeling.

What is the Purpose of a Focus Group?

Focus groups are a unique research tool used to uncover valuable information while involving employees in the process of decision-making and business solutions in the workplace.

Focus groups are designed to help HR or management;
• Uncover the strengths and weaknesses of the organization and provide actions for addressing or sustaining them.
• Form a more comprehensive picture of how employees feel about the organization through qualitative insights.
• Provide the opportunity to show that employee feedback is valued and that there’s commitment to positive change in the workplace.

Who Can Participate in a Focus Group?

All employees have the opportunity to take part in a focus group. Each group will have a small number of employees to ensure everyone has an opportunity to speak. Employees are encouraged to actively and openly participate in discussions and be respectful of others in the group.
