Your participation is important
Statistics Canada is conducting 2 surveys on behalf of Employment and Social Development Canada:
- The Survey of Businesses under Federal Jurisdiction, now taking place, aims to identify businesses under federal jurisdiction.
- The Survey of Employees under Federal Jurisdiction, which will take place in the winter of 2021/2022, will cover topics such as quality of work conditions, access to benefits and flexible work arrangements, labour relations, work-related well-being, health and safety.
Information from this survey will guide research and analysis to update the Canada Labour Code.
The business survey is mandatory
To ensure that all employees are properly identified and can be contacted, the survey conducted among businesses such as yours is mandatory under the Statistics Act.
