Employee research for public services

We are leaders in employee engagement research in the public sector. Our specialist team of consultants and researchers work with organisations within central government, local government, not-for-profit, education and skills, police and housing.

Our approach to employee engagement research is flexible, and tailored to individual organisational needs. It is underpinned by an employee engagement model which is intuitive, practical and highly robust.

We span all aspects of the employee lifecycle from talent attraction through engagement to retention, and offer a truly holistic approach to employee engagement.

Within the public sector, we focus on identifying ways to improve efficiency and doing more with less through helping organisations to understand what motivates and engages staff. We help organisations turn their survey results into high-impact sustainable action.

We have designed a range of cost-effective products tailored to specific sectors within public services including:

  • laengage: a cost-effective survey for measuring engagement within local authorities
  • rsltalkback: improving performance across the housing sector

Our approach to employee engagement covers a wide range of factors that impact on engagement levels, and we can provide support on issues including bullying and harassment, leadership effectiveness and change.
