The study reveals that no central government department has fully recovered to pre-pandemic wellbeing levels. Even with signs of improvement, anxiety remains high across all organizations.
The research indicates that civil service wellbeing is 'stubbornly, and substantially, worse off' in key departments like the Department for Education and Department of Health and Social Care.
The Department of Health and Social Care showed a notable decline, with life satisfaction down seven percentage points and anxiety up the same amount compared to pre-pandemic levels.
Despite some improvement since 2022, the current wellbeing of civil servants is still significantly lower than pre-pandemic levels, with over 30% anxiety rates across departments.
