Public Service Employee Survey, 2022/2023

Supplementary questions on hybrid work (HBR_Q30A-HBR_Q50) were prepared for inclusion in the survey, only if federal public service employees were mandated to work from home due to the pandemic while the survey was in collection. As no lockdowns were mandated by health authorities, these questions were never included in the questionnaire. As such, there have been no changes to the questionnaire that employees were asked to complete.
