This synthesis report presents key findings and actionable insights from the 2024 Standard EU/OECD Survey of Central Government Public Servants, the first cross-country survey of its kind across ten countries. At a time when governments must respond to increasingly complex and fast-moving challenges, the evidence presented here is more vital than ever to help central administrations strengthen leadership and human resource practices to build high performing public service workforces.
Watch the webinar and learn about the results of this ground-breaking survey of over 56,000 public servants in 10 countries. The survey provides insights into public employees’ perceptions across a range of essential areas, including leadership quality, organisational performance, employee engagement, well-being, learning and development, innovation, management, and working conditions.
The report includes data from 9 EU countries - Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Slovakia, and Slovenia - as well as Norway.
