OSCR's results here.
The survey, managed by the UK Cabinet Office, was
carried out in October 2011 and saw 299,410 staff take part.
Of OSCR's 56 employees, 64% took part in the survey with OSCR
achieving an overall engagement score of 70%.
Chief Executive David Robb welcomed the report and said that it
would inform the Regulator's ongoing programme of staff
engagement.
'Good service is delivered by skilled and well-motivated and
managed staff. My experience so far is that people enjoy
their work here and these results back that up. Positive staff
engagement helps achieve improvements in efficiency and
productivity,' he said.
'This is the third year we have participated, along with
Scottish Government and other agencies. The results provide a
useful comparison with our previous scores and with the Civil
Service overall and we will use them to further improve our
operations so that charities and others users benefit.'
The report shows that OSCR achieved positive scores in a number
of key areas, such as Leadership and Managing Change, My Work and
My Team.
All organisations taking part are publishing individual results
individually. Combined results for the whole Civil Service
will be published on 1 February 2012.
