Making a Difference Together
Here at UCLH we are clinically excellent, consistently in the top 10 performing Trusts in the country e.g., Dr Foster.
UCLH is in the top 20% nationally for inpatient and outpatient surveys, however for the 5% of patients rating their care as ‘poor’ this represents some 20,000 patients per year – we want to do better….
We want be known equally for our staff and patient experience.
By improving the experience of staff and our patients we can achieve true excellence.
3
Making a Difference TogetherCampaign Goals
Introduce organisational values and a set of behavioural standards that are based on staff and patient feedback and that are conducive to the Trust achieving its mission by supporting the creation of a values-led ‘culture of excellence’.
Embed those values into the day-to-day operations of the Trust by including them in the HR mechanisms that guide how we recruit, manage, develop and reward our staff.

Embedding the Values Through Recruitment
The project objective is to take steps to ensure attraction, selection, recruitment and on-boarding processes are fully aligned with the highest quality recruitment practices.
To attract staff who embody the values of the organisation
To ensure a reduction in administrative burden for hiring managers
To reduce attrition, attract great people to do their best work and to develop with us

‘Recruiting the best consultants’ project
why we did it what it involved what we learnt
14
What our stakeholders said
• “Key hires” – but how we do it doesn’t reflect that• Interview too short and superficial / “prescribed”• Too heavily weighted towards technical (plus
research) • Not enough focus on
o Understanding the person/values/behaviouro Leadership qualitieso Teachingo Possible problematic behaviours
• Not enough work pre-selection to involve relevant stakeholders
15
3 key selection questions
Can they do the job?Abilities, potential, intellect/mental ability to learn, problem-solve, handle complexity, make decisions etc
How will they do the job?Personality and style; work style; working relationships; handling pressure; engaging with the team and organisation
Do they want to do the job?Aspiration; values and motivation; “fit” with the organisational culture (the more engaged, the less likely to fail)
16
Our evidence basePersonality and job performance
• 3 decades of research on personality and job performance• Longitudinal studies of impact of personality on medical student
performance• Literature review of psychological factors affecting doctors’
performance The role of behaviour and non-clinical attributes in doctors’ performance
• NCAS data on referrals• Royal College of Surgeons “Teamworking”• Behavioural marker systems for surgery (NOTS) and anaesthetics
(ANTS)• Literature on medical errors
Competency based selection and assessment of doctors into specialist training (UK)
17
Role of Psychometrics: personality, motives, values, preferences…
• Personality tells you what a person MAY do in certain situations
• Value and interest inventories tell us what a person WANTS to do
• People tend to prefer to work with others who share their values; are happiest in environments that are consistent with their values; and more stressed when acting contrary to their values
• Cannot easily infer values because they are private
• Values describe the kind of culture you will create as a leader
18
What we now assess (in addition to clinical skills and experience)
• Leadership qualities and potential• Motivation for joining UCLH• Career aspirations and compatibility with the
clinical service and UCLH strategy • Attitudes and behaviours with regard to each
of the UCLH Values

A candidate’s viewpoint…..
“This was a very different experience; I think the process shows that UCLH wants to recruit people who are more rounded as a person…
“What I didn't expect was how the psychometric tests were used in the interview. The questions went right to your core, and I remember feeling quite exposed - which isn't a bad thing. I think the interview questions encouraged honesty and to be yourself in the interview setting. Overall, I think the framework was good”

Values Based Recruitment Until now… Future…
High volume applications to shortlist from Pre-application selection tool for all prospective candidates based on values scenarios
No ability to drive eligibility to apply Eligibility driven application process
Volume, quality and technology issues as constraints
Technology enabling swifter journey from application to interview
Variable quality of questioning A values based question bank of pre-drafted questions that are values-driven
No assessment of practical skills ‘Menu’ of exercises, assessments and tests available (if required). Support for hiring managers in making decisions on their use
Little focus on values Values embedded throughout the process
Practical recruitment skills training Practical values based recruitment training for hiring managers to become “fit to practice”
Little or no candidate follow up or “pooling” of appointable candidates
On-boarding team to provide candidate follow up in ‘resourcing’ rather than ‘recruiting’ model
