NZDF Regular Force Attrition by Year (12 month rolling average)

NZDF Regular Force Attrition by Year (12 month rolling average).

Note:

RF attrition is now reported excluding Short Term Enlistments (STEs). STEs are mainly Non-Regular Force personnel who transfer into the RF to be deployed on overseas operations and therefore have a known termination date. The RF attrition rate (12 month rolling average) for the 12 months to 30 June 2009 was 11.08% (excluding STEs).

Attitude Survey

Overall, RF satisfaction has remained fairly stable over the past 12 months, with slightly higher levels in the first six months of 2009. From July 2008 to June 2009, 62.2% of all RF 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.
