Satisfaction with Employment in the NZDF
Overall, Regular Force satisfaction has remained fairly stable over the past 12 months, though has reduced slightly over the past 24 months. From July 2007 to June 2008, 57.1% of all Regular Force respondents rated their overall satisfaction as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’.
The NZDF Ongoing Attitude Survey continues to provide a valuable source of information to monitor organisational health as an aid to HR policy development. The NZDF Cohort Survey has also continued. This survey tracks selected cohort groups of officer and other rank recruits across the three Services over time, to monitor recruit perceptions and levels of satisfaction, and inform future recruitment, training, and management practices.
