Employee survey
We conduct an annual employee engagement survey. In 2013 approximately 37,000 employees in more than 70 countries gave their views on a wide range of business topics and to identify areas where we can improve.
We measure how engaged our employees are with our strategic priorities. The group priorities index is derived from 12 questions about employee perceptions of BP as a company and how it is managed in terms of leadership and standards. We saw continued improvement in 2013 with a score of 72% (2012 71%, 2011 67%).
Business leadership teams review the results of the survey and agree actions to address identified issues. In 2013, safety scores remained strong and there was an increase in understanding of our operating management system, an area of focus identified the previous year. While the survey showed an increase in employee confidence in BP’s leadership, work is needed to further strengthen this.
