Your Voice employee survey

Every 2 years we ask you to share your views about working at the council through the Your Voice survey.

The Your Voice survey gives you the opportunity to confidentially share your views on a range of work related topics.  

The results are used to: 

  • helps us understand how you feel about working for Essex County Council
  • help our managers and leaders understand what is working well, and where improvements may be needed
  • show us how we can make the council a better place to work

We review the questions used in the last survey to make sure they are still relevant to the changing needs of employees and the organisation. This means some questions are new and some remain the same. 

Charitable donations when you take part 

Thank you to everyone who completed the Your Voice survey.  

In taking part in the 2024 survey, you have helped to raise £5,151 for the Chairman’s charities. We pledged to donate £1 for every response we received, and at the end of the survey you were able to select from either the Music Man Project or Little Havens to receive your contribution.  

Thank you for taking part and helping to make a difference to how we work. 

How we will share the survey results 

Your responses to the survey are combined with the rest of your team’s results. Leaders and managers across the organisation will receive a combined report highlighting results from their team.  

Your manager will share your team results with you. They may want to discuss the results with your team and get your feedback. They may ask you how you would like to be involved in any action planning. 

Results reports for managers 

Managers will only be eligible to receive a link to view their team results if there were more than 10 responses.  

For smaller teams with less than 10 people, or where less than 10 people have responded to the survey, managers will not receive a link to access survey results. Instead, speak with your manager to gain the results for the team level above, where results are available.  

If you are a manager, read our tips and advice on getting the most out of your results (DOCX. 62KB), including how to engage your team and action planning.
