The benchmark report shows results from the Civil Service People Survey from 2009 to 2016. The benchmark for a survey measure is the median (mid-point) score of all participating organisations. The questions are used to generate 10 headline indicators; 1 to measure the levels of employee engagement and 9 to measure the factors which influence engagement.
