Energy and health optimism help lift civil service morale under Labour

The modest increase in civil service morale may reflect a renewed sense of purpose and direction under Labour's leadership, particularly in key sectors like energy and health. This uptick could indicate that the government's policies are resonating with civil servants, fostering a more positive work environment. However, the decline in morale within the Foreign Office and MoD suggests that not all departments are experiencing the same level of optimism, highlighting potential areas of concern for the government.
