Staff survey and staff numbers
William Brooke made this Official Information request to Bay of Plenty Regional Council
The request was successful.
From: William Brooke
Dear Bay of Plenty Regional Council,
I hope you are well. Please provide me the results of your latest staff morale / engagement / satisfaction survey with results broken down to at least "tier two" level. I believe from precedent that there are no grounds for withholding this information except for individual "verbatim comments". Examples include:
https://www.publicservice.govt.nz/our-wo...
https://www.dia.govt.nz/Engagement-Survey
https://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/reso...
Can you also provide me the number of staff "full time equivalents" by month since January 2018 e.g. January 2019 100, February 2019 101 and so on.
I am providing the same request to Western Bay Council and Tauranga City Council as I am researching costs for ratepayers around here and how much we get for our money.
Yours faithfully,
William Brooke
Yours faithfully,

Dear William
We refer to your Request for information under the Local Government
Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA) regarding 2021 Staff
Survey and 2018 to 2021 Staff Numbers which was received by the Bay of

Latest staff survey
In 2019 BOPRC moved from using employee engagement surveys, to a
continuous involvement survey platform. This change came after input from
our people, who wanted the opportunity to provide feedback more frequently
and in a more flexible and meaningful way, so they could become involved
in continuously improving our organisational effectiveness.
In June 2021, we ran a customised all-staff baseline survey through the
platform. It included likert scale questions (strongly agree to strongly
disagree), with an overall average score of 74%. Refer to attached
document: “Toi Moana ‘AskYourTeam’ all-staff survey 2021 – Overall Results
and Tier 2”.
