Staff Survey

It is important to us at OCS that we have a positive work place, where staff feel supported, valued and able to do the best work they can. Our annual staff survey gives all staff of OCS a venue for open feedback and provides us with an opportunity to assess what we are doing well and what we can do better.

Highlights

This year, we had another very successful staff survey with 53% of staff responding to the survey (230 of 436 active staff). This represents an increase of 11 staff from the previous year.

When asked if they would recommend working at Options to others, 193 respondents provided written responses. Over 94% said yes.

When asked what one practice OCS could change to enhance your life at work, the majority of responses demonstrated a desire for increased pay and/or benefits. The majority of remaining responses fell into the category of increased learning opportunities and communication, including opportunities to learn more about other OCS programs. Feedback received on supervisors was also very positive but slightly lower (5%) than the previous year. Respondents were given the statement “My supervisor supports me in understanding how to be successful in my job”. 67% of respondents reported that this happens anywhere from frequently to always. To the statement, “My supervisor recognizes and appreciates me and my work”, over 71% stated frequently to always. Again, a slight decrease from the previous year‘s 75%. Over 82% of staff responding to the survey report above average to extremely high meaning and significance in their work. A slight decrease from the previous year by 3%. 43% of respondents are reporting above average or high levels of stress at work. This is an 8% increase from the previous year.

Over 68% of respondents are reporting above average to extremely high sense of community at work.
