Survey of public sector information management
Explore Archives New Zealand's annual Survey of Public Sector Information Management. Benchmark information and records management performance across government organisations and access survey reports from 2019 onwards.
Why your participation matters
Archives New Zealand Te Rua Mahara o te Kāwanatanga runs the Survey of Public Sector Information Management each year to understand how information and records are being managed across the public sector.
The survey helps build a picture of information management performance across government and local authorities. Survey findings are analysed and used to:
track performance and trends over time
identify common challenges, risks and opportunities
support the Chief Archivist's reporting on the state of government recordkeeping
inform reporting to government and the public.
Most regulated organisations, including local authorities, are required to complete the survey. We send it to Executive Sponsors, but information and records management staff are expected to contribute to the response.
How the survey benefits your organisation
Taking part in the survey helps your organisation to:
benchmark its information and records management performance against the wider public sector
track progress and performance over time
identify strengths and areas for improvement
better understand emerging challenges and opportunities in information management.
