People Matter Employee Survey Results
Between 19 August and 13 September 2024, District staff participated in the NSW Public Service People Matter Employee Survey—one of the largest surveys of employee experience in Australia.
This year, 45 per cent of our workforce shared insights, ideas, and perspectives that help inform our continuous improvement initiatives across the workforce.
We publish the survey reports in full. This transparency fosters an environment where everyone’s voice is heard, and solutions are developed collaboratively, so together we can drive positive change across our District.
Reports
Last year’s results
Staff wellbeing was identified as a key area for improvement in last year’s survey, so we:
- launched several initiatives to better support our workforce
- established new Staff Wellbeing Committees
- made more resources available through our District Wellbeing Hub
- increased access to recreational leave to enhance work-life balance, resulting in 35,575 additional hours of leave being taken by our staff compared to the previous year
Greater recognition for staff contributions was highlighted as another area for improvement, so we:
- introduced District-wide recognition programs to honour exceptional service
- revitalised staff forums
- enhanced internal communication channels to highlight achievements
- celebrate the hard work and dedication of our teams in our Employee and Excellence Awards
Our people matter. Individual and team wellbeing, engagement, and contributions are foundational to our shared success. We extend our thanks to every team member who took the time to share their insights in this year’s survey
