Methodological notes
- The dashboards were designed in collaboration with policy centres to provide a visual snapshot of PSES results for various groups represented in the PSES by selecting specific questions to highlight the workplace experiences of these employees. The dashboards complement other PSES products and provide information to support the continuous improvement of people management practices in the federal public service.
- Percentages reflect the affirmative responses (i.e., the sum of “Strongly agree” and “Somewhat agree”; the sum of “Always/Almost always” and “Often”; the sum of “Very high” and “High”; the sum of "To a large extent" and "To a very large extent"; “Yes”; or the selected response from a list).
- Percentages exclude the “Don’t know” and “Not applicable” response categories.
- Generally, upwards arrows indicate a positive outcome and downwards arrows indicate a negative outcome.
- For most questions, a higher percentage represents a positive outcome (upward pointing arrow) and a lower percentage represents a negative outcome (downward pointing arrow).
- For certain questions (e.g., harassment and discrimination, work-related stress), a higher percentage represents a negative outcome (upward pointing arrow) and a lower percentage represents a positive outcome (downward pointing arrow).
- The comparison group for each sub-type includes the rest of respondents not in that sub-group. The comparison group, or ‘Other’ group, includes all respondents who answered “No” to the first referenced question (such as “Are you an Indigenous person?”) and all respondents who answered “Yes” to the first referenced question but did not select the sub-group.
- The results have been compared to the 2019 PSES results with the exception of the persons with disabilities sub-groups as the definition of disabilities and the type of disabilities were expanded in 2020 to become more aligned with those included in the Canada Accessibility Act.
- The 2020 PSES results by employment equity groups can be found on the Open Government Portal by accessing the EEInfoDV dataset.
