Bible Society, an organisation with over 200 years of history, is driven by a mission to make the Bible available and accessible to all. Born out of the determination and faith of Mary Jones, Bible Society has grown into a major part of the United Bible Societies, a collective of over 140 national Bible Societies.

The organisation's dedication to its mission extends to its employees, creating an environment where its values are deeply embedded in everyday work. This is evident in various initiatives like the daily time for staff prayers, reflecting its value of being 'prayerful'. It also incorporates value-driven behaviours in the annual appraisal process, demonstrating its commitment to its values.

Bible Society recognises the importance of communication and clarity within the organisation. It has appointed a full-time Internal Communications Specialist and utilised platforms like MS Teams for regular updates. CEO-led workshops and monthly staff meetings provide forums for dialogue and feedback, ensuring the organisation's vision and strategy are well communicated and understood.

The organisation also prioritises employee wellbeing and productivity. It has implemented Ways Of Working (WOW) guidelines to support managers in accommodating individual needs. It has also invested in creating a conducive work environment and provided necessary equipment for employees to flourish.

Bible Society's dedication to its mission and values, focus on effective communication, and commitment to employee wellbeing are key elements that drive its employee engagement strategy. These initiatives contribute to maintaining a workplace where staff feel valued, understood, and part of the organisation's impactful mission.
