Au cours des derniers mois, les membres de la Section locale 1944 employés chez Telus ont répondu à notre sondage L’heure de vérité, qui cherche à évaluer si les résultats d’engagement élevé de Telus sont la conséquence d’un milieu de travail positif ou de pressions de la part des gestionnaires.
À la clôture du sondage le 30 avril, 1 326 réponses avaient été reçues ; cependant, 119 d’entre elles ont été annulées, soit parce qu’un même membre a soumis le sondage plusieurs fois, soit parce que les réponses au sondage n’ont pas pu être attribuées comme provenant d’un membre de la Section locale 1944.
Il restait 1 207 soumissions valables au sondage. Cela représente environ 20 % des membres Telus de la Section locale 1944 qui travaillent actuellement.
Voici quelques faits saillants sur ce que vous aviez à dire :
Question :
J'ai reçu des directives de la part de la “direction ou autres” quant aux réponses “correctes” aux questions de l’entreprise dans le sondage sur l’engagement du personnel.
Réponses :
Tout à fait d’accord – 33 %
D'accord – 23 %
Ni d’accord ni en désaccord – 16 %
En désaccord – 16 %
Fortement en désaccord – 11 %
(le total n’est pas de 100 % car il est arrondi)
Question :
Il a été suggéré, à moi ou à mon groupe de travail, qu'il pourrait y avoir des répercussions négatives suite à de mauvais résultats en matière d'engagement.
Réponses :
Tout à fait d’accord – 32 %
D'accord – 22 %
Ni d’accord ni en désaccord – 20 %
En désaccord – 15 %
Fortement en désaccord – 11 %
Question :
Mes réponses au sondage de l'entreprise sur l'engagement du personnel reflètent ce que l'entreprise veut entendre, et non ce que je ressens réellement.
Réponses :
Tout à fait d’accord – 32 %
D'accord – 21 %
Ni d’accord ni en désaccord – 16 %
En désaccord – 19 %
Fortement en désaccord – 12 %
Ces résultats démontrent la forte pressurisation et manipulation exercées par la direction en ce qui concerne L’Heure juste (PulseCheck), afin de gonfler...
For the past few months, Local 1944 members employed at Telus have been responding to our RealityCheck survey, which seeks to verify whether Telus’ high engagement scores are the result of a positive workplace, or management pressure.
When the survey closed April 30th, 1326 responses had been received, however, 119 of these were spoiled either because the member submitted their survey more than once, or because a survey could not be attributed to a current member of Local 1944.
There remained 1207 countable survey submissions. That is about 20% of Local 1944’s Telus-employed members presently working.
Here are some highlights of what you had to say:
Question:
“I have been guided by ‘Management or others’ on what the ‘correct answers’ are to questions on my company engagement survey”
Responses:
Strongly Agree – 33%
Agree - 23%
Neither Agree Nor Disagree – 16%
Disagree – 16%
Strongly Disagree – 11%
(sum is not 100% due to rounding)
Question:
“It has been suggested to me, or to my work group, that there would be negative consequences for poor company engagement scores.”
Responses:
Strongly Agree – 32%
Agree - 22%
Neither Agree Nor Disagree – 20%
Disagree – 15%
Strongly Disagree – 11%
Question:
“When answering the company engagement survey, my answers are a reflection of what the company wants to hear, not what I truly feel.”
Responses:
Strongly Agree – 32%
Agree - 21%
Neither Agree Nor Disagree – 16%
Disagree – 19%
Strongly Disagree – 12%
These results demonstrate that a very large amount of management pressurization and manipulation is going on with regard to PulseCheck, artificially inflating scores.
It is hypocritical that the very behaviours that most characterize a negative employer, excessive pressurization and threats to employees, are being used to get employees to claim that Telus is a positive employer on their PulseCheck. Shame.
Here are some more results:
Question:
Given the opportunity, I tell others great things about working here.
Responses:
Strongly Agree – 15%
Agree – 36%
Neither Agree Nor Disagree – 25%
Disagree – 17%
Strongly Disagree – 8%
Question:
I would recommend my employer to a friend seeking employment.
We are fielding a lot of inquiries about the Strike Assistance. We are in the process of collecting and uploading your information. The 1 penny "trial" deposit has NOToccurred yet. When it does, we will send out a mass text.
Strike Assistance Pay will be as follows...
A deposit will be made on June 25th
Beginning July 9th and every two weeks after that deposits will be made to coincide with our regular pay schedule.
Green Book Update: Negotiations resumed for the Green Book today. Unfortunately, the company continues to push for removing portions of our detailed benefit language and replacing it with non-contract policies. This isn't something we are interested in accepting. To move things along, both parties agreed to move all "open" non-economic proposals to economics. We presented our economics proposals this afternoon and the company expects to have a full response for us at the next session on June 9. Given how slow the progress has been, we are asking for you, the members, so show your support for the Negotiating Committee by wearing a union sticker on June 9 - the next day we meet with the company. Our Workers Information Network (WIN Team) is distributing the stickers. Let us know if you'd like to join the WIN Team and/or if you need stickers for you and your co-workers.
