Dear Disgruntled Peasant
OFFICIAL INFORMATION ACT REQUEST 21.44 Staff stress and wel being
I refer to your Official Information Act (the Act) request dated 17 July 2021 for information relating to staff
stress and wellbeing. You have specifical y requested:
1) the number of professional / general staff who have resigned over the last 5 years, broken down by month.
2) any reports, emails, memos or other documents that summarise exit interviews or exit survey responses from
1 January 2020 to present
3) any reports, emails, memos or other documents regarding staff wellbeing and workload (internally or
externally generated) from 1 January 2020 to present. Please note I do not want information regarding
individual staff members or incidents, only high-level information. Please include health and safety reports and
information provided by the union.
4) any reports, emails, meeting minutes, briefing notes, memos or other documents relating to the Sli.do
questions for the last staff forum
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the
day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are
therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to Friday 3 September 2021.
This extension is necessary because your request is for a large quantity of information and meeting the original
time limit would unreasonably interfere with our operations.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about
how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely
