Canadian Defence Civilian Employee Survey on Psychologically Healthy Workplace, 2020-2021

The 2020 Public Service Employee Survey was conducted from November 30, 2020 to January 29, 2021. This dataset from National Defence provides responses to Question 78, measuring the percentage of civilian employees who describe their workplace as psychologically healthy. It is part of the Departmental Results Framework for tracking organizational performance.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking workplace psychological health scores based on the survey indicator.
• Analyzing trends in employee well-being within a large public sector organization.
• Correlating workplace health perceptions with other survey dimensions like engagement and leadership.
• Supporting organizational performance reporting for the Departmental Results Framework.

Strengths

• Data is tied to a formal government performance framework (Departmental Results Framework).
• Survey was administered by a professional firm (Advanis) for a defined period in 2020-2021.
• Focuses on a specific, well-defined metric from a comprehensive national employee survey.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data reflects a single organization and time period, limiting generalizability.
