The 2023 Staffing and Non-Partisanship Survey is coming your way

September 19, 2023 – Defence Stories

Who is the survey for?

Department of National Defence employees and Canadian Armed Forces members who have direct civilian reports are invited to complete the 2023 Staffing and Non-Partisanship Survey.

What is it about and why is it being conducted?

Completing the survey gives you the opportunity to share your thoughts about the staffing system and how familiar you are with your legal rights and responsibilities related to political activities. The results will also help shape the Public Service Commission of Canada’s (PSC) work and give human resource professionals and hiring managers across the federal public service important insights into how they’re doing.

Consult the highlights from the 2021 survey results.

When will it run?

The survey runs from September 20 until November 17, 2023, and takes about 20 minutes to complete. Your responses are confidential.

How can I complete it?

This year, Advanis, a Canadian market and social research firm, is administering the survey on behalf of the PSC. It will be sent from Advanis’s external email address, so please keep an eye out for it. You are encouraged to complete it, as a high response rate will help ensure your thoughts are captured and used to identify areas that need attention.

Your email from Advanis will contain a personal and confidential link to the survey. If you are unable to locate it after the survey launch date, please contact cfp.sdip-snps.psc@cfp-psc.gc.ca.

What you say can make a difference and by completing the survey you are helping the federal public service improve staffing and safeguard non-partisanship.
