2014 APS employee census

Brief description

The 2014 APS employee census was administered to all available Australian Public Service (APS) employees. This census approach provides a comprehensive view of the APS and ensures no eligible respondents are omitted from the survey sample, removing sampling bias and reducing sample error. The census' content is designed to establish the views of APS employees on workplace issues such as leadership, health and wellbeing, learning and development and job satisfaction. The census ran from 12 May to 15 June 2014. Overall, 99,392 employees responded to the employee census, a response rate of 68%.
