I'd get fired for producing something like that without it being protectively marked as staff/commercial in confidence.
Interesting reading though.

Actually that's not a bad engagement score. The "how do you feel" column is a direct input and usually employees use this sort of thing to give their employer a direct kicking. I do. The engagement score is usually calculated via more subtle questions.
As has been said, mainly it creates a baseline to improve from. Posting it publically invites all sorts of misrepresentation, and with my people manager's hat on I'm not sure I agree with doing it. But I still looked

82% of people still see themselves at BA in 3 years' time: they want to work in the aviation industry using their current skills and know the grass is even browner elsewhere.
Overall, it's looking pretty bad for people management in BA. If BA want to improve this, it shouldn't be hard to move it up a bit.

BA seem to publish it themselves now, although not sure it’s supposed to be public facing.. it was doing the rounds when it was still internal-only.

Those are horrifying percentages. I would hate to be the person they put in charge of this. I worked for a BIg 4 where the whole department was as miserable as sin and still our staff survey scores were significantly better than that!

No it doesn't, but it does make it crystal clear that you will lose your job and might be sued if you are caught printing it, emailing it, saving it to USB or anything else likely to cause a breach of infosec.
Also, in my former guise as a journalist, my ethics would ensure that if I received a document marked as "Commercial in Confidence", I'd offer the company a chance to talk about it in the open. A collaborative article offers more future opportunities, releasing data without asking for comment first gets you blackballed. A former colleague of mine got our publication blackballed by a GPU manufacturer simply for publishing a photo of a chip with "RedactedCompanyName Confidential" on it.
As it stands it's a PowerPoint presentation slide, from an unconfirmed source, that is most likely to be genuine because of the reaction of the forum staffers.

I actually think they're not too bad for a company that's been going through a transitional period for many years. Especially where it's involved staff cuts and putting in place less favourable working conditions. So I'm not at all surprised by these results.....about as predictable as England's forthcoming chances of winning the World Cup.

FYI - I agree - I don't think they're too bad either..

The standard process is to send it to everyone, remind frequently, and put pressure on via managers for participation. Confidentiality will have been assured, and probably it will have been done through a third party. If there isn't high participation the results aren't very useful.

You're suggesting that you would consider yourself a good boss if only 5% of your employees said they were 'happy' to work for your company when asked to fill in an anonymous survey?
