The FDF’s State of the Industry Report will be:
- Informative
- Factual information is more useful than sentiment. The report will focus on factual information, including output, workforce and costs, with just two sentiment questions.
- Consistent
- The survey will ask the same questions – this is to provide comparability over a period of time, making it a useful benchmarking tool.
- Timely
- For data to be as relevant as possible, the report will be released promptly after the survey has taken place. We have a set timeline to ensure the information proves a useful benchmarking tool.
Data will be collected and kept in the strictest confidentiality. Findings will be aggregated at an industry level. If participation rates allow, we will seek to provide findings at more granular level e.g. regionally or by industry sub-sector.
