Employee Surveys

The State Service Management Office (SSMO) coordinates the Tasmanian State Service Employee Survey (the Survey) across all Tasmanian State Service (TSS) agencies. The Survey is provided by Orima Research Pty Ltd.

The 2020 Employee Survey was held from
10 March 2020 to 31 March 2020.

What is the Survey about?

The Survey asks all TSS employees and officers about their work and work environment. The Survey is conducted on a confidential and voluntary basis.

The Survey asks questions about a range of topics, including:

• diversity;
• employee engagement;
• workplace health, safety and wellbeing;
• job satisfaction; and
• team work.

The Survey also provides TSS employees and officers with the opportunity to contribute their views about accountability, values and principles, workplace flexibility, and development as well as how behaviours such as fairness and respect are valued in their workplaces.

Why do we have a survey?

The Survey results inform senior leaders about what it is like to work in the State Service, which helps them to improve workforce management at the whole-of-service and agency levels. The results also support agency and whole-of-service planning and reporting activities, including informing the reporting required under the State Service Act 2000.

How do I find out about the Survey results?

Survey reports will be provided to each Head of Agency and they will determine how agency-level results are distributed to their employees. Whole-of-service results can be viewed by clicking on one of the links below.
