NRS Employee Engagement

The National Records of Scotland (NRS) was created on 1 April 2011 by the amalgamation of National Archives of Scotland (NAS) and the General Register Office for Scotland (GROS).  This new Department now employs approximately 420 staff.  This was the first survey since the amalgamation which captured the views of NRS staff.

This year's Employee Survey was once again part of the Civil Service People Survey which covered 98 UK Departments. This is an important part of a programme of work to develop a cross government approach to employee engagement.

The purpose of the survey was to obtain employee views about various aspects of working in the Scottish Government and NRS. It looked to identify what works well and what could be improved with a particular focus on employee engagement. It provides us with information that can help us develop appropriate action to make us a more effective organisation recognising the acknowledged benefits of having an engaged workforce.

It provides us with information on how we can become a more effective organisation through a better engaged workforce. We are actively following up the survey with our staff to identify measures for improvement in the short and longer term. A copy of our results can be found at:
