The survey was not yet a public document, but this could have been communicated in writing, the Ombudsman said, adding that management's actions, regardless of intention, were perceived as a sanction and as a questioning of the employee's rights.

"It's nice to have our opinion confirmed. It's a shame that it had to go to the Ombudsman," he tells GP.
