Civil Service Employee Engagement Survey 2020

The Civil Service Employee Engagement Survey (CSEES) took place in September 2020. The CSEES is a key action of the Civil Service Renewal Plan and has previously taken place in September 2015 and 2017.

The CSEES is designed to let you have your say in relation to your job, your manager and the leadership of your organisation. The purpose of the CSEES is to measure and evaluate employee engagement, well-being, coping with change and commitment to the organisation.

The spirit of the survey is about employee engagement and making the working lives of civil servants better. While these are unprecedented times, it is critical to obtain your feedback and to feed into the future strategic direction of the Civil Service and the next phase of Civil Service Renewal.

In 2020 additional questions were added to the survey as a remote working module to give you the opportunity to provide feedback on how the unprecedented challenges which we were facing due to the Covid-19 pandemic have impacted on your working life.

The Civil Service Management Board (CSMB), which includes all Heads of Government Departments and major Offices, has tasked the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (DPER) and the Central Statistics Office (CSO) with administering the survey and processing the results.

Information on the previous Employee Engagement Surveys are available here along with additional research which built on these findings Civil Service Employee Engagement Surveys.
