Implications

Financial

A commitment has been made to deliver our workforce survey annually and commission Progressive Partnership to undertake the survey again in 2025. Funding has been incorporated into budget planning for 2025/26.

Reputational

If we do not acknowledge, listen, and respond to our workforce survey results, organisational legitimacy and public confidence in the police service is negatively impacted.
