The next edition of our biannual Survey of the Profession has launched and will be open until  12 June.  

The Survey provides an opportunity for members to share their thoughts and opinions on our progress and what you would like to see prioritised and delivered through the RICS agenda. Through your feedback you can contribute to our transformation and work for public advantage.

Whatever stage of your career, your voice matters and is a vital catalyst to our service delivery, progression, and success. Your responses will help better shape our organisation and enable us to fulfil our purpose of creating a world class globally recognised professional body that is designed to effect positive change in the built and natural environments.

Your previous feedback has already contributed to additional member-engagement resources across the UK and global markets that deliver increased levels of engagement opportunities and strengthened our service delivery.  We have set up new regional advisory boards who can better respond to your local needs and conditions.

Previous responses have also helped us to deliver a new communications centre where you have more control over what and how often you receive our communications.

“As a member-led organisation, we want your views on what’s useful and what could be better. Completing this survey helps us understand how we’re performing over time, highlighting the things that deliver value for our members and helping us shape our services for you and do more of what works.” Tina Paillet, FRICS RICS President”
