Using the figures in this report
Data source
All data was provided by the Australian Public Service Commission (APSC).
% positive
Where results are shown as positive percentages (% positive), these are calculated by adding together positive responses ('strongly agree' + 'agree' or 'always' + 'often') and dividing by the number of respondents who answered the question.
Rounding
Results are presented as whole numbers for ease of reading, with rounding performed at the last stage of calculation for maximum accuracy. Values from x.00 to x.49 are rounded down and values from x.50 to x.99 are rounded up. Therefore in some instances, results may not total 100%.
Anonymity
It is best practice not to display the results of groups of respondents to the extent where the anonymity of individuals may be compromised. Results will not be shown where there are less than 10 respondents in a group.
Comparisons with other agencies
Comparisons to other similarly sized agencies are used through this report. To see how agencies are categorised, visit the APSC's APS Agencies – size and functionExternal Link webpage.
Comparisons with results from previous years
The method of analysing and reporting specific results may be periodically reviewed and revised. Such improvements are applied to current data and that of previous years. For this reason the current report is always the most accurate data source for APS employee census results, including comparisons with time series data.
Acting on feedback
Local action plans
ATO employees are encouraged to create team and branch action plans to address their Census results.
What we asked employees to consider
Identify areas to celebrate, opportunities for improvement and areas which you need to investigate further.
Celebrate
What things did we do well? Think about how we can build on our strengths and learn from what we are good at.
Investigate further with our teams
Are there any other opportunities coming out of the results that we want to explore further?
How could we investigate? through looking at the data in more detail or through discussions with staff?
Opportunities
Areas we need to focus on and turn into action plans. What are the key things we need to improve to make working here better?
Prioritise 3 areas for action, including:
- timescales
