College workforce surveys

AoC College Workforce Survey

This annual AoC survey focuses primarily on the key headline performance indicators and benchmarks that HR departments in colleges frequently report on and keep under review:

• staff composition, headcount and FTE
• staff turnover
• difficulties with recruitment
• key terms and conditions
• workforce development budget
• sickness absence
• trade union recognition
• HR system

AoC College Workforce Survey 2020/21

For 2020/21, we have again collected additional data such as contact teaching hours and salaries, due to the 'data gap' created by the conclusion of the ETF SIR survey in 2018/19 and the DfE Workforce Data collection process which commenced by collecting data for 2020/21, but will not be publishing results.
