Hi Ppruners,
Thank you to all who took the time to contribute to our annual staff engagement survey. In just over a week we received over 1500 responses from members and others working in Aviation in our region. As always there were substantial contributions from Pilots and Flight Attendants who linked in via the social media channels. Our good friends in the Philippines were active as always and new contact was made with those working in New Guinea who suspected that they could break the all-time low record for employee engagement. They were correct and registered a stunning 0.66% across all the questions where they were asked to rate their management.
Qantas continued to record marginal rises but is yet to ever move out of the 30’s in any of the 5 years the survey has been conducted. A big move came from their major competitor, Virgin who plummeted nearly 13 points to finish a short half head in front of the Kangaroo. Virgin’s employee engagement has steadily declined from over 75% five years ago to just over 40% now. Jetstar continued to impress as the major Australian airline you don’t want to work for whilst Emirates workers in Australia continue to express their disappointment.
For 5 years in the helicopter sector, Bristow and CHC have jostled within the 40-60% bracket. Rex, Alliance, Network and KORR staff appear increasingly frustrated however Tiger staff are slowly viewing their company in better light. I thank the many members and others working for smaller airlines and MROs who completed the survey, in many cases there were only a handful of contributions received and the thresholds for measurement not met. Anyone working at a smaller company who’d like to use our survey internally can contact us via our office and we would be more than happy to assist.
See attachment for final results.
Cheers
Steve Purvinas
