Civil Service People Survey: MHRA results (2011)

The Civil Service People Survey took place in October 2011 and involved 97 organisations across the Civil Service. A key element of the people survey is the ‘Employee Engagement Index’. This is a measure of how engaged employees are with their work and is calculated from responses to five of the key questions in the survey:

  • I am proud when I tell others I am part of the Agency
  • I would recommend the Agency as a great place to work
  • I feel a strong personal attachment to the Agency
  • The Agency inspires me to do the best in my job
  • The Agency motivates me to help it achieve its objectives.

There is clear evidence of a link between highly-engaged staff, high levels of health and well-being and organisational performance, so this is a crucial indicator. Our Employee Engagement Index was calculated at 57 percent in 2011. This is two percent higher than the Civil Service average.
