This alone is evidence of something that I already knew - that you care greatly about Lloyds Banking Group and our customers - and you want to help change this business in a number of ways for the better.
While we all want to see improvement in the overall scores, I believe the results show we are at a turning point. Our business and industry have faced a number of challenges in recent years and recovery will take some time.
Thank you to everyone who responded to the recent Colleague Survey. Overall, xx% of colleagues in WAFI completed the survey, surpassing the Group response rate and bettering our own response rate last year. It is very important that you have your say as we build the best bank for colleagues and customers – I'm very grateful that so many of you took the time to share your views.
So what are the results telling us? Let me pick out a few things to highlight.
Thank you for all your views, questions, comments and feedback last month. Our CEO, António Horta-Osório, would like to answer some of the most pertinent questions and reply to some of the most interesting comments here.
