The objective of the PSES is to provide information to support the continuous improvement of people management practices in the federal public service. [...] The “soft launch” was an opportunity to correct any technical issues before the launch to the rest of the federal public service. [...] Weighting Procedures, the Confidence Interval, and the Margin of Error The procedures used to adjust for non-response were similar to those used by Statistics Canada for previous versions of the PSES. [...] The purpose of adjusting for non-response is to account for the under-representation of occupational groups in the respondent group by aligning to the population counts. [...] Advanis worked with the Government of Canada to subject the survey to thorough testing and review, and the result was a fully compliant and accessible survey.
