Tell me straight

What's it like to work in BBC News ? Every year the management bravely puts a series of statements in front of staff, and asks for marks. 54% answered the questionnaire this year, up 1% on the previous exercise. 

HR put the figures through a magic machine and come up with an employee engagement score; News got 59%, down 1% from 2024. The BBC-wide score is 64%. 

CEO Deborah Turness is frank about the negatives: "Our scores on how we handle bullying and harassment are not where they should be, with 48% thinking we deal with concerns appropriately and only 43% of people saying they have confidence in our whistleblowing policy."

"This year 30% of you say the BBC applies pay principles fairly and transparently, and 36% say total compensation is fair."  The first figure is down from 33% in the previous year's exercise.

She doesn't give the figure on "confidence in the future direction and strategy of BBC News" - 42% backed the management in 2024.
