Transport for Greater Manchester is a local government body with a mammoth task at hand: ensuring the smooth functioning of Greater Manchester's transport network, which supports over 5.6 million journeys each day. The team is committed to making travel easier and safer by fostering a better-connected Greater Manchester.

Transport for Greater Manchester's employee engagement initiatives are as impressive as its city-wide operations. The 'Brewlette' initiative, for instance, encourages cross-organisation interaction and camaraderie among colleagues on a monthly basis. The 'Whole Self Campaigns' launched in 2022, gave employees a platform to share personal stories, fostering a sense of unity and mutual respect. The organisation's dedication to mental health is evident through its team of trained Mental Health Champions and the 'Mindful Monday' yoga sessions.

The organisation has embraced hybrid working, restarting in-person briefings with senior management, which can also be joined virtually. It has further facilitated knowledge sharing and personal development through initiatives like cross-team mentoring and the introduction of a behavioural framework aligned to its values. The 'My Impact' performance review process reinforces this framework, fostering a shared understanding of expectations.

The firm's commitment to continuous learning is evident in its provision of 35 additional eLearning modules, covering diverse topics from change management to mental health. Finally, its 'Bee Active Fundraiser Mileage Challenge' not only promoted physical activity among the team but also demonstrated its commitment to social responsibility. In essence, Transport for Greater Manchester is a model organisation that places people at the heart of its operations and initiatives.
