The 2017 Public Service Employee Survey measured federal public servants’ opinions in relation to employee engagement, leadership, the workforce, the workplace, workplace well-being and compensation.

Results for 2014, 2011 and 2008 are only provided for questions repeated in the 2017 Public Service Employee Survey.
