Description

The Nunavut Government Employee Survey (NGES) is an online survey of all current Government of Nunavut (GN) and Government of Canada (GC) employees whose assigned work location is in Nunavut and who were working at the time of survey completion. The survey is conducted by Statistics Canada, and is sponsored by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). It was developed in collaboration with Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (NTI), the GN and Pilimmaksaivik, the Federal Centre for Excellence for Inuit Employment in Nunavut.

The NGES allows employees to share their experiences, opinions and suggestions for improvement on many topics related to their workplace, including learning opportunities, training, career advancement, hiring, Inuit Societal Values and Inuktut in the workplace. The results of the survey will allow the Government of Nunavut and the Government of Canada to identify what is working well in each department and where improvements should be made. The results may help governments and Inuit organizations to develop and monitor Inuit Employment Plans, Pre-employment Training Plans to increase Inuit employment and support the advancement of Inuit working for government organizations in Nunavut.

The information will be used for the Nunavut Inuit Labour Force Analysis (NILFA), and may also be used to help governments and Inuit organizations to find ways to increase Inuit employee hires in government to levels that are representative of the population, as per Article 23 of the Nunavut Agreement.
