Social media engagement is high this month, particularly on Facebook where we have a large staff following. Posts to engage and thank staff for their commitment throughout the adverse weather conditions on Facebook have received high engagement levels with many staff ‘tagging’ and thanking their team members for their help and support. We have also received high engagement levels on social media when announcing the nominees for this year’s ‘You’re a Star Awards.’ Media coverage this month includes an interview on BCB radio with Lisa Stead in support of Children’s Mental Health Week, coverage of this also appeared in the Asian Sunday as well as Tim Rycroft’s new appointment in Digital Health. The bounce rate is slightly over our target of 62 per cent.
