The effectiveness of the FPS study
Key results will be communicated to all organizations participating in the study and their personnel at the work unit level. The study results are used for improving personnel well-being and quality of work life.
The study produces data of national significance. It is the country's largest and longest-standing survey of municipal and well-being sector personnel and it covers nearly 30% of municipal and well-being sector employees.
