A wide range of information was garnered from the WeCount 2019 survey. This information can be distilled into two key themes:
|
What a good workplace looks like |
What we need to work on |
|
- supportive - open-minded - gender and sexuality diversity is normalised through knowledge - good teams have supportive colleagues/managers - diversity and difference are seen as strengths - visible leadership - values people for their abilities - respectful and tolerant |
- ensuring that judgemental behaviour is identified and appropriately dealt with - ensuring that no one feels vulnerable and/or intimidated at work - ensuring that all of our employees are comfortable being themselves at work - improving recruitment and progression practices - shifting mindsets and encouraging education |
Overall, workplaces within the public service were identified as good workplaces however this survey tells us where we can do better.
