Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 28 March 2023 to Question 166164 on Government Departments: Staff, how many and what proportion of respondents to the most recent Leesman office survey undertaken by her Department (a) agreed and (b) disagreed with the statements about their main workplace that (i) it enables me to work productively, (ii) it supports me sharing ideas and knowledge amongst colleagues, (iii) it creates an enjoyable environment to work in, (iv) it contributes to a sense of community at work, and (v) it's a place I'm proud to bring visitors to.

The Government Property Agency (GPA) is committed to delivering great places to work. To support this, it is important that civil servants are able to provide feedback about their workplaces. GPA has engaged Leesman, a world leader in measuring workplace experience, using their independent, objective and transparent office surveys that enables global benchmarking.
