Got given mine on Friday Lunchtime, brought it home and filled it and posted it back yesterday.

i noticed there is a ref number this year in the form. i am concerned that royal mail could use this ref number a a way of tracing back your comments to the individual

That's a good point...are the forms being handed out individually to staff...i.e.has management had a chance to note who gets what form?

I'm not sure whether they'd be allowed to persecute you for something you said on a "have your say" type survey...data protection act could come into play?

Does it say on the forms thay are private and confidential? Or that all information given will be treatest in the strictest of confidence, or other wording to that effect?

I think the reference number only identifies the office

[Big Daz]

I dont think it identifies the individual but the section of RM Group the individual works in. How deeply it penetrates I dont know, that info was not given on the forms.

It's an official MORI poll.
What could go wrong?
You lot are crediting management with far too much intelligence.
If you signed it,left a picture of you signing it,fingerprints and some DNA these clowns couldn't work it out.

All part timers at my DO have not been given chance to fill out the form.

[TrueBlueTerrier]

All HYS forms have had numbers on them, it, as far as I know helps the collators do 2 things.

1. Identify the number and percentage of returns.

2. Identify the function and office, where applicable

As FT says it would be far too burdensome to either link individuals to particular serial numbers, or to expect the manager to know which form a particular member of staff completed.

Well they are lizards so I wouldn't put anything past them.

I filled mine in and returned it through the post box, I told the truth because I cannot tell a lie, everyone knows that.

I praised the management teams at all levels, I praised the BT2010 and the fairness inbuilt in the system, I went overboard on the praise for the understanding when the work needs to be culled due to time constraints.............all in all I believe I was, well, bullshi*ting.

These things are a complete waste of time, they are a follow on to the personal appraisals of years ago. We once had a woman from RM at our office speaking to individuals on a one to one as to why that particular survey had been so scathing of the office organisation, she wrote copious notes, nodded wisely and appropriately, reassured the people involved, of which I was one, that action would be taken and that she would return in six weeks or so to see how things had gone........................that was about twelve years ago and I haven't seen hide nor hair of her since. I think it was in an effort to stave off a spate of grievances.

The style and language of any comment you leave could easily identify an individual in a smaller office.

Why not alter your writing style?
Perhaps Vladimir Nabokov,Miguel Cervantes or even Edgar Allan Poe?
