ITS WORKFORCE GIVES the Commission for Rural Communities (CRC) the fifth highest score among the 18 small public organisations for their belief that its support of worthy causes is not motivated by a desire for good publicity (62% positive). The organisation focuses on the real needs of people living and working in the countryside, with a particular emphasis on tackling disadvantage, and it appears to be firmly committed to this rather than being bogged down by profit and budget concerns (71%). Staff could benefit from more support to provide a great service (51%, and ranking bottom), but say their manager regularly shows appreciation when they do a good job (71%, and seventh). Bosses care about people as individuals (73%) and help them to fulfil their potential (65%). Employees are also excited about where the commission is heading (58%). Teams are fun to work with (76%) and staff can make a valuable contribution to the CRC's success (77%). www.ruralcommunities.gov.uk
