Ministry of Defence: Labour Turnover

The Ministry of Defence understands the importance of creating a positive working environment where all employees feel valued, included and motivated to contribute to the purpose of the Department. We have a stable turnover rate, and we are actively monitoring retention, particularly for key skill areas. We gain understanding of the lived experience of our staff through the People Survey and through Exit Surveys, and these have evidenced that our staff are committed to their work and our organisation. Where these surveys have identified areas for improvement, we have responded with a clear focus on the things that matter to our staff, actively promoting professional and leadership development, “our offer” of working in Defence as well as modernising our reward offer for a better employee experience.
