The 2021 APS Employee Census was administered to all available Australian Public Service (APS) employees, running from 10 May to 11 June 2021. \r\n\r\nThe Employee Census provides a comprehensive view of the APS and ensures no eligible respondents are omitted from the survey sample, removing sampling bias and reducing sample error. The Census' content is designed to establish the views of APS employees on workplace issues such as leadership, learning and development, and job satisfaction.\r\n\r\nOverall, 109,537 APS employees responded to the Employee Census in 2021, a response rate of 77%.\r\n\r\nPlease be aware that the very large number of respondents to the employee census means these files are over 200MB in size.
