Feedback from the event

Rate your division

The Department for Communities are interested in the views of our staff.  In November 2017 and November 2018 we asked our staff to "Rate your division as an employer" to help us understand their experience of working  in the Department.

Staff were required to answer one question by selecting a number of stars, 1 star = Not at all likely, 10 stars= Extremely likely

Staff were asked:

"How likely would you be to recommend your division as an employer to someone you know?"
