Annual Employee Engagement Survey for 2026

Welcome to the Annual Employee Engagement Survey for 2026

Alongside the usual themes in our survey, this year we have introduced an additional question on your location - this is specifically for the project 'shaping the future of our workspace' (Agile 2) if you are based at Shire Hall; a new question on experience of racism, prompted by our recent anti-racism statement and commitment. There is also a guest survey of 12 questions for those who work for Gloucestershire Fire & Rescue Service (GFRS).

This is your safe space to have your say and your response is anonymous.

Our staff survey provides valuable information on your thoughts and views on our workforce priorities and how you feel about working here.

We really want to hear from you, so please take time to grab a cuppa while you complete the survey and have your say.

Your responses are anonymous.

Any equalities data will only be reported at a corporate level and will not be combined with the service area or team information.
