The survey should increase participation, build strong confidence in anonymity, generate actionable insight, and ensure inclusive access for colleagues. Wakefield Council employs approximately 5,000 staff (excluding Schools) across five directorates: Children and Young People (CYP), Adults and Health, Resources, Chief Executive, and Regeneration Environment and Economic Growth. Recent staff survey completion rates have declined from 43% in 2021 to 31.6% in 2023, with a target of 50% completion rates going forward. Internal insight shows high willingness to participate, but key barriers include concerns about anonymity, limited visible action following surveys, accessibility challenges, and overly complex reporting.
