ONS Business Engagement Survey

Overview

At the Office for National Statistics (ONS), we are committed to delivering business surveys that provide trustworthy, independent, high-quality statistics to underpin the UK’s most critical economic and societal decisions and inform the public.  

We are undertaking a programme of continuous improvement to improve the business survey respondent experience. This includes moving more of our surveys online, exploring the use of alternate data sources and working with businesses to understand how our surveys and support services can be improved. Please see our website for more information about the ONS Survey Improvement and Enhancement Plan for Economic Statistics.  

Your views matter to us. This voluntary survey will help us to understand the respondent experience of completing ONS business surveys and how we can improve in our practices. Recipients of ONS business surveys include organisations such as businesses, charities, and public sector offices. 

We are committed to transparency in our business survey improvement programme. As part of this, we plan to publish an anonymised summary of the responses we receive to this survey. We will not publish the personal name of any respondent. Names of individuals, organisations and groups will not be linked to any comments that you give. 

If, after you have submitted the survey, you wish to withdraw your participation or you require that any information you have provided be amended, please contact us by Friday 1 May at Business.Surveys.Engagement@ons.gov.uk with the response ID provided to you at the end of the survey.

Please be aware that, as a public authority, we are subject to the Freedom of Information Act and can never completely guarantee that names and responses will not be published.  We will not publish personal contact details, such as email addresses. To find out more, read our Privacy Policy: Privacy - Office for National Statistics - Citizen Space (ons.gov.uk).
