A staff satisfaction survey was conducted from 3 
November till 3 December 2010.  Cluster random 
sample method was used to conduct the survey.

and feelings about their workplace, their job and 
their work environment.
For the organisation to be able to address those 
areas where employees experiences are less 
than ideal.

had been previously used in the same context.  
The survey measures seven (7) broad areas namely:
1. Opinion of the organisation
2. Communication and consultation within the 
organisation
3. Service provided by administrative components
4. Employees immediate work environment

survey.  
Almost all the domains show an improvement 
in satisfaction levels, however the domain that 
shows the greatest improvement is the Employees 
immediate work environment. This domain shows an 
increase of 40% (38% in 2008 and 78% 2010).   
Staff satisfaction levels show an increase in all (7) 
seven domains; communication and consultation 
have the lowest score of all seven (7) domains; there 
was an increase of 8,7% satisfaction. 
The report shows that staff is very proud to work for 
Tygerberg Hospital. The participants recommend 
the employer (Department of Health) as the 
employer of choice. Staff members still feel more 
can be done about the support they received from 
the Administrative support teams. Staff members 
don’t feel safe at work, their personal belongings for 
example, cars are not safe. Staff also feel that more 
can be done about the rest rooms and tea room 
facilities. The staff members feel that the managers 
(supervisors) are accessible and available and 
regard everybody as valued team members.
Recommendations 
In order to improve satisfaction levels in the 
workplace, staff and management need to build on 
the achievements of the past. To incorporate all the 
accountability integrity, responsiveness in all 
workplace activities to achieve the vision and the 
mission of the organisation.
