The Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) is to launch the 2019 Australian Public Service employee census next Monday (6 May).
The APSC said invitations to take part would be sent throughout the following week with the census an opportunity for members of the Australian Public Service (APS) to have a say about their working environment, their Agency and the broader APS.
“The data collected provides (sic) a valuable evidence base to support reform initiatives,” the APSC said.
It said the data were also used to inform programs, activities and for workforce planning, and were fed into the State of the Service report and other Government programs and initiatives.
“The APS employee census collects confidential attitude and opinion information from APS employees on important issues including their health and wellbeing, attendance, performance management, leadership, and general impressions of the APS,” the Commission said.
“It is administered to all APS employees and is an opportunity for employees to tell the APSC what they think about working in the APS.”
It said that if anyone is interested in finding out more about the census or doesn’t receive an email invitation, they should contact their Agency census coordinator, visit the APSC website or email [email protected].
It said the census, which began in 2012, was conducted in May and June each year.
