1. Respondents

In total there were 2,122 responses to the survey. Figure 1 shows 92.6% of respondents indicated they currently were employed (or have been in the past 12 months) in the sport, fitness, aquatic, coaching, venues, events, leisure or lifestyle sector. A number of respondents were not currently employed within these sectors or they worked on a voluntary basis only and were subsequently excluded from the data and reporting. Results for this volunteer group will be published in a separate report.

Figure 1: Respondents currently employed in the sport, fitness or aquatic sector.

2. Gender

Figure 2.1 shows the gender breakdown of survey respondents. Slightly more females (60.2%) than males (39.8%) completed the survey in 2013 compared with 2009 where survey respondents were 45.4% males and 54.6% females.

Figure 2.1: Gender breakdown of respondents in 2009 and 2013.

The aquatics sector has the highest percentage of female employees (71.7%) followed by the fitness sector (66.2%). Only the sport sector employs more males (55.2%). See figure 2.2.

3. Location of Employer

Respondents were employed mostly in the major capitals: Sydney (22.7%); Melbourne (21.1%); Perth (5.8%); Brisbane (6.6%) and Canberra (4.0%) (see figure 3.1). More respondents were employed in regional areas in 2013 (31.9%) than in 2009 (22.7%).

Figure 3.1: Breakdown of employer locations in 2009 and 2013. Melbourne has lived up its name as the ‘Sport Capital of Australia’ with the highest percentage (28%) of sport professionals employed there, followed by Sydney (23.6%) and only 19.2% of sport professionals employed outside the major capital cities(see figure 3.2). The fitness sector saw more employed in Sydney (22.6), whereas the aquatic sector has the same number of employees in Sydney and Melbourne (20.7% each). The fitness and aquatic sectors had over a third (39.4% and 39.2% respectively) of employees working outside the major capital cities.

Figure 3.2: Location of aquatic, fitness and sport sector employers in 2013.

4. Age of Respondents

Figure 4.1 shows 43% of respondents were aged less than 35 years in 2013, compared to more than half (54%) in 2011 (Note - age was not a survey question in 2009). 26% of respondents were aged between 35-44 years in 2013, up from21% in 2011. More respondents were aged 45-54 in 2013 (20%) compared to 2011 (18%). The percentage of respondents aged 60 or older in 2013 (4.4%) is close to double that of 2011 (2.3%).

Figure 4.1: Breakdown of respondents ages in 2011 and 2013. As seen in figure 4.2, over one third (38%) of respondents employed in the aquatic sector are aged 50 or older, compared to 18% each for the fitness and sport sectors. Over one third (34%) of respondents from the sport sector were aged under 30, compared to 27% of fitness and 14% of aquatic sector employees.

5. Education Profile of Respondents

Figure 5.1 shows 44.3% of respondents hold a Bachelors Degree 2013, down from 49% in 2009. There has been a significant increase in the number of respondents with a Certificate III (45.6%) and/or Certificate IV (52.3%) qualification in 2013, up from 28% and 31% respectively in 2009. Almost one third (29%) of respondents who have completed a Bachelor Degree have also completed an Industry Accreditation (incl. Coaching, AUSTSWIM, Fitness Leader) in both 2013 and 2009.

5. Education Profile of Respondents (Continued)

Figure 5.3 shows that over two thirds (70.1%) of those employed in the sport sector hold a Bachelors Degree, compared to one third (33.1%) in the fitness sector and 30.8% in the aquatics sector. The fitness sector saw the highest percentage of Certificate III (68.9%) and Certificate IV (72.5%) qualifications. Two thirds (67.8%) of those employed in the aquatic sector have completed an industry specific accreditation (e.g. AUSTSWIM) and 43.6% hold a Certificate IV qualification.

Figure 5.3: Education profile of aquatic, fitness and sport sector respondents in 2013. The majority (61%) of formal qualifications are specific to the sport, fitness or aquatic sector in 2013, up from 57.6% in 2009. 89.5% of qualifications are either wholly or partially specific to the job in which they are presently employed (up from 85.6% in 2009).

2013 Sportspeople Workplace Survey - www.sportspeople.com.au Page 8

5. Education Profile of Respondents (Continued)

28.6% are currently studying (up from 24.6% in 2009 and 23% in 2008). Of these, 20.4% are studying a postgraduate qualification, 19.8% are studying a Bachelor Degree, and 49% are completing either a TAFE or industry specific qualification (see figure 5.4). 10.7% indicated their study level was “other”, predominantly indicating short courses and professional/personal development.

Figure 5.4: Level of studies in 2009 and 2013. The reasons for currently studying are outlined in figure 5.5. “Career Advancement” was quoted as a reason for 55.5% and selected for every qualification; “Update qualifications” was quoted as a reason for 18.3% and selected for every qualification except High School; only 9.1% are studying for a “Career Change”.

6. Nature of Employment and Working Hours

The majority (72.7%) of respondents were engaged under an employee (PAYG) arrangement (see figure 6.1). The fitness sector has the highest percentage of respondents engaged on a contractor (service fee) arrangement (15.1%) or self employed (26%), both of which have increased from 2009 figures of 11.8% and 18% respectively.

Figure 6.1: Nature of respondents’ employment in sport, fitness and aquatics in 2013. The majority (54.5%) of respondents were employed on a permanent full-time basis in 2013 (see figure 6.2), down from 66.8% in 2009, 77% in 2008 and 80.5% in 2003. The increase in part-time workers overall may be attributable to the increase in the number of respondents from the fitness and aquatic sectors, in which some 60.2% and 55.6% of respondents respectively work part-time. Only 15% of respondents from the sport sector work on a part-time basis. 43.1% of part time employees work more than one job, (up from 28% in 2009) with some respondents working for as many as six different employers.

Figure 6.2: Nature of respondents’ employment in 2009 and 2013.

Page 10: 2013 Sportspeople Workplace Survey · 2013 Sportspeople Workplace Survey - Page 2 1. Respondents In total there were 2,122 responses to the survey. Figure 1 shows 92.6% of respondents

2013 Sportspeople Workplace Survey - www.sportspeople.com.au Page 10

6. Nature of Employment and Working Hours (Continued) Consistent with earlier surveys the majority (51.4%) of [full-time] respondents also worked more than 40 hours per week, with 16.9% working in excess of 50 hours weekly in 2013 (see figure 6.3).

Figure 6.3: Typical number of hours worked per week in 2009 and 2013. Figure 6.4 shows a breakdown of hours worked on a gender basis. Females typically work more part time hours (30 or less hours per week) and males typically work more than 40 hours per week. It should also be acknowledged a respondent may work in more than one job, meaning that the total hours worked typically in a given week, may be more than 40 hours.

Figure 6.4: Typical number of hours worked per week by gender in 2013.

Page 11: 2013 Sportspeople Workplace Survey · 2013 Sportspeople Workplace Survey - Page 2 1. Respondents In total there were 2,122 responses to the survey. Figure 1 shows 92.6% of respondents

2013 Sportspeople Workplace Survey - www.sportspeople.com.au Page 11

6. Nature of Employment and Working Hours (Continued)

Figure 6.5 shows that the majority of respondents employed in the sport sector (86.5%) are employed on a full-time basis (more than 30 hours per week), with 53.2% working more than 40 hours per week. Those in the fitness sector worked the least amount of hours, with 47.8% working 20 hours or less per week.

Figure 6.5: Typical number of hours worked per week in sport, fitness and aquatics in 2013. Figure 6.6 shows that the majority of respondents (61.2%) take less than half an hour for lunch, with one third (33%) taking less than 15 minutes. 21.1% take 45 minutes or more for lunch in 2013, up from 7.4% in 2009. The fitness (12.5%) and aquatic (7.4%) sector have the most respondents taking over an hour for lunch, which could be due to the classes/lessons and early morning/evening nature of their work. Only 1.6% of the sport sector typically take over an hour for lunch.

7. Industry Experience

Figure 7.1 shows 36.4% of respondents in 2013 had worked in the sport, fitness and aquatics industry for 4 years or less, down from 39.6% in 2009. The biggest shift is the number of employees working more than 25 years in the industry (7.9%) up from 5.6% in 2009 and 2.2% in 2003.

Figure 7.1: Time employed in the industry in 2009 and 2013.

Figure 7.2 shows the number of years respondents had been employed in their current position. In 2013 11.6% of respondents had boasted longevity of 10 or more years in their current position, up from 8.8% in 2009 and zero respondents in 2008. There was also a significant drop in the number of respondents who have been in their current position for less than 12 months, possibly reflecting less movement in the sector.

Figure 7.2: Time employed in current position in 2009 and 2013.

Page 13: 2013 Sportspeople Workplace Survey · 2013 Sportspeople Workplace Survey - Page 2 1. Respondents In total there were 2,122 responses to the survey. Figure 1 shows 92.6% of respondents

2013 Sportspeople Workplace Survey - www.sportspeople.com.au Page 13

7. Industry Experience (Continued) Figure 7.3 shows the number of years respondents have been employed in their current position and how long they have been with their current employer. The majority (51.1%) of respondents have worked in their current position for two years or less (down from 55.7% in 2009). 67.6% of respondents have worked with their current employer for 4 years or less (down from 70.2% in 2009). It appears the percentage of respondents changing positions within their current workplace has declined since 2009, indicating employees may be seeking career advancement elsewhere and outside their current employment.

Figure 7.3: Time employed in current position and with current employer in 2013. 8. Scope of Employer

More than half of the respondents working in the fitness (55.8%) and aquatic (64.4%) sectors work for employers operating on a Regional/Local/Community level (see figure 8). One third (33.2%) of those in the fitness sector work for National/International employers. State/Territory level organisations are the largest employers in the sport sector (42.7%).

Figure 8: Scope of respondents’ employers in sport, fitness and aquatics in 2013.

9. Travel to place of employment

The majority of respondents (77.4%) travel less than 20 km to work (one way). The fitness sector (54.5%) had the highest percentage of respondents travelling less than 10 km to work, whereas the sport (61.5%) and aquatic (55.6%) sectors had the highest percentage travelling 10km or more (see figure 9.1). Interestingly, 1.4% of respondents in both the fitness and sport sectors work from home, with nil in the aquatic sector.

Figure 9.1: Distance travelled to work (one way) in 2013. The typical time taken to travel to work (one way) is shown in figure 9.2. The majority of respondents (71.6%) travel for less than 30 minutes to work (one way), up from 61.4% in 2009. The fitness sector (48.7%) had the highest percentage of respondents travelling for less than 15 minutes to work, up from 36.1% in 2009. The sport sector had the highest percentage (43.2%) travelling 30 minutes or more. 33.6% of full-time employees travel 30 minutes or more, compared to 19.6% of part-time employees. Of those that travel 30 minutes or more, 29.4% are employed in Metropolitan Sydney and 25.9% in Metropolitan Melbourne.

10. Job Satisfaction

The majority of respondents (84%) are either satisfied or very satisfied with their current job (down marginally from 85.1% in 2009) (see figure 10.1). Respondents working in the aquatic and fitness sector are the most satisfied with 47.2% and 47.1% respectively very satisfied. The sport sector had the most respondents (48.3%) only somewhat satisfied with their current job. (see figure 10.2). Only 7.7% rated their overall job satisfaction as either dissatisfied or very dissatisfied (up from 6.5% in 2009). While the level of dissatisfaction has increased since 2009, this was not evident in the aquatic sector which had 0.9% of respondents very dissatisfied (less than the 1.4% in 2009), whilst the fitness sector had 2.5% very dissatisfied (up from 0.6% in 2009) and the sport sector 2.3% very dissatisfied (up from 1% in 2009) in their current job.

10. Job Satisfaction (Continued) 42.1% of respondents were initially attracted to their career due to a desire to work in a specific industry (i.e. sport, fitness or aquatics) or an interest in a specific sport (e.g. netball or AFL) (down from 56.8% in 2009 and 64.7% in 2008) (see figure 10.5). Variety of work and contribution to the community were also strong attractions to current career in 2013, although not as strong as in 2009. Only 5.3% found the remuneration an attraction to joining the industry.

Figure 10.5: Initial attraction to current career in 2009 and 2013. The sport sector had the most respondents (61.6%) who were initially attracted to their career due to a desire to work in a specific industry (i.e. sport, fitness or aquatics) or an interest in a specific sport (e.g. netball or AFL) (see figure 10.6). The sport sector respondents were also more attracted to career advancement (27.5%) and professional development and training opportunities (31.1%). Hours of work was more of an attraction for those working in the aquatic (24.9%) and fitness (23.8%) compared to only 10.7% in the sport sector. Variety of work (30.6%) and customers/clientele (21.7%) were also stronger attractions for the fitness sector.

11. Remuneration

The base salary levels for all full-time respondents are shown in figure 11.1. There is a greater cluster of base salaries in the $60,000-$79,999 range in 2013 (22.3%) down from 2011 (24.3%). The biggest shift has been the number of respondents earning $80,000-99,999 in 2013 (14.3%) which has increased from 10.9% in 2011. The mean salary in 2013 for all full-time respondents is between $65,000 and $70,000.

Figure 11.1: Full-time base salary levels in 2011 and 2013. Figure 11.2 compares the base salary levels for males and females in 2013. As was the case in all previous years surveyed (2003, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011), in 2013 more males than females earned salaries in excess of $80,000, and no females reported a base salary of $200,000 or higher. The highest base salary for males is between $200,000 and $250,000. For females the highest reported base salary is between $170,000 and $180,000. The mean base salary for males is between $70,000 and $75,000, and decreased by 2.2% from 2011, whilst the female mean salary is between $55,000 and $60,000 a decrease of 1.9% from 2011.

Figure 11.2: Full-time base salary levels of males and females in 2013.

11. Remuneration (Continued)

Figure 11.3 compares the base salary levels for different industry sectors. The mean base salary for fitness is between $50,000 and $55,000, for aquatics between $65,000 and $70,000, whilst for sport the mean base salary is between $70,000 and $75,000. The sport sector was the highest paid, with the mean base salary 12.8% higher than aquatics and 39.2% higher than fitness.

Figure 11.3: Full-time base salary levels for sport, fitness and aquatics in 2013.

Figure 11.4 compares the mean base salary and total salary package for all full time respondents, as well as by gender, industry and scope of employer’s operations. The 2013 mean base salary decreased 2.8% from 2011 and is aligned with the 2008 mean base salary.
