On August 20, Treasury Board initiated its process of soliciting feedback from employees of the Federal Government about their engagement, leadership, workforce, workplace, workplace well-being, and more, through the Public Service Employee Survey (PSES). At the unions’ request, it also asks a few questions about pay problems resulting from Phoenix.
Because the Institute believes firmly that informed data should be used to effect change, we support full participation by our members in the 2018 PSES.
The survey is being conducted from August 20 to September 28, 2018, and is being administered by Advanis, on behalf of the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer, Treasury Board of Canada. Responses will be treated in a confidential manner.
