The first headline results of the two Capita surveys conducted by independent researcher Andy Holt were shown at the recent branch annual general meetings. Results showed there were both positive and negative views on a number of key issues. A couple of examples discussed were:
- Of the Capita-run council services, customers appeared to be most satisfied with the Contact Centre, Health & Safety and Payroll, but least satisfied with Recruitment, One Way to Buy and IT.
- Capita employees responded generally positively to questions about cultural issues related to their direct line management, but this contrasted starkly to the level of satisfaction and motivation to perform well for the company as a whole.
We will be publishing a detailed overview of the results when the research project concludes.
