Staff Engagement Survey 2023

Page updated: 01/12/2023

The 2023 survey was open from June 8 - July 21, 2023.

In total 1,459 members of staff chose to take part in the survey, which is approximately 18% of our entire workforce.

This is a slight reduction in the amount of staff who took part in the 2022 staff survey, however, it remains a reliable statistical sample.

The tables below provide a summary of the overall results as well as a comparison with last year’s results.

A colour coded system has been used to show a rating scale of scores:

  • Dark green: Strongly agree
  • Light green: Agree
  • Amber: No opinion to slight agreement
  • Red: Disagree
  • Dark red: Strongly disagree

Please note: There are departmental variations and your Director, and their management team, will make sure you are made aware these results.

Please visit our “You said, we listened (2023),” page which gives further information on the actions that we are taking as a direct result of your feedback.
