Background

Between October and December 2024, the Local Government Association (LGA) conducted an online survey of all councils in England, asking them to share their views about key elements of the workforce, including recruitment and retention, pay rewards and wellbeing at work. The information provided will help to analyse and act on key workforce issues facing local government. The information collected is used to:

  • limit data requests from government departments direct to local authorities
  • enable authorities to compare themselves against others in relation to key metrics
  • identify best practice and inform policy development
  • inform our priorities for national action and central government engagement.
