The Government Property Agency is committed to delivering great places to work and to ensure we are delivering on this commitment it is critical that civil servants have a voice that shapes their workplaces so that the spaces we deliver can best support them to be effective in delivering and serving the UK public. GPA has engaged with Leesman, a world leader in measuring workplace experience, using their independent, objective and transparent office surveys that allow us to benchmark ourselves globally.

GPA is leading the way in analysing and gaining value from the Leesman data to ensure our workplace decisions and conversations are informed and led by insights and data. Leesman is a world leader in measuring workplace and employee experience via an online survey tool. The Leesman global average score for workplace experience is 64.6 (out of 100).

HM Treasury participated in a GPA Leesman survey carried out on our Darlington Office (Feethams House) in November 2022. The survey had a total of 83 HM Treasury respondents. The proportional breakdown of responses against the requested questions from the survey can be found in the table below:
