49374 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister for the Public Service: How many agencies report increased workloads, stress, or morale issues because of staffing cuts, if any, broken down by agency?

Hon Judith Collins: I’m advised the Public Service Commission does not hold information about all agencies impacts from change processes. In the March Public Service Census the Commission measured a range of barriers to productivity including staffing level/work volumes. The Commission also measured workload, stress, and job satisfaction. The results at the system and agency level were proactively released in early July. I refer the Member to the publicly available information on the Public Service Commission website at the following link: https://www.publicservice.govt.nz/data/public-service-census/engagement-and-wellbeing/wellbeing-health-and-safety
