A federal public service based on merit, representative and impartial, serving all Canadians is the main foundation of Canada's public administration.
The Public Service Commission today announces the release of the report on the results of the 2018 Public Service Staffing and Non-partisanship Survey for the Public Service as a whole. The purpose of this survey was to solicit feedback and feedback from public servants, hiring managers and staffing advisors on a wide range of topics related to staffing in the federal public service, including staffing policies and practices of departments and agencies, the rights and responsibilities of participating in political activities and political impartiality. Statistics Canada conducted this survey on behalf of the Public Service Commission. More than 100,000 public servants in 74 federal departments and agencies responded to the survey.
The results of the survey show that progress has been made in some areas but that further attention will be needed in other areas. Initial analyzes indicate that the vast majority of public servants believe that they are able to perform their duties in a politically impartial manner. Other responses suggest, however, that more work needs to be done to address negative perceptions about the fairness of the hiring process. Other criticisms were made about the cumbersome and slow staffing system. The Public Service Commission is already aware of these criticisms and is seeking to address them by adopting a new simplified staffing approach and modernizing its recruitment system.
The Public Service Commission is currently analyzing the survey data and will be releasing more reports in the coming months, including departmental reports, demographic analyzes and thematic reports.
