The relationship between employer and employee is comprised of many variables that can influence an individual’s productivity, wellbeing and overall outlook. Aspects such as burnout, leave entitlements and recognition are instrumental in understanding how an employee feels in the workplace.
The ELMO Employee Sentiment Index offers an insight into the actions, attitudes and behaviours of Australian workers. The report provides a quarterly analysis of the prevailing sentiment within the workforce to track changes in perceived job security and the employ men t landscape.
The 2021 June Quarter ELMO Employee Sentiment Index revealed:
- Australian workers’ perceptions of their job security fell 8 points from 55% to 47%. Meanwhile, their perceptions of their economic security fell 11 points from 30% to 19%
- The proportion of workers feeling burnt out climbed by 8 points to 42% of the workforce
- Employers mandating employee COVID 19 vaccinations is supported by 62% of Australian workers.

Methodology
The ELMO Employee Sentiment Report was initiated to gain data and insights into the attitudes, actions and concerns of employees.
Respondents were asked to reflect on their actions in the three month period of April 2021 to June 2021.
The research was commissioned by ELMO Software and conducted by Lonergan Research in accordance with the ISO 20252 standard.
Lonergan Research surveyed 1,039 Australian workers aged 18 years and over between 17 June and 27 June, 2021. The research was conducted through a 17-question online survey. Respondents were members of a permission-based panel, geographically disbursed throughout Australia including both capital city and non-capital city areas.
After surveying, data was weighted to the latest population estimates sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
