Employee Engagement & Satisfaction Survey Results Analysis Reports
Summary
In 2004, jurisdictions from across Canada agreed to conduct a survey using a common set of nineteen questions to measure employee engagement and satisfaction.
Since 2006, the Employee Engagement and Satisfaction Survey (EESS) has provided the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) with the opportunity to gain insight into the engagement of GNWT employees. Favourability scores are the percentage of respondents who agree or strongly agree with a statement.
The EESS is a tool that can inform conversations with management, employees and human resource specialists about the underlying issues and challenges that exist in the workplace. It is an opportunity to foster a more engaging and satisfying work environment for GNWT employees, recognizing that “having engaged employees who are involved in and committed to their work is critical to the success of the GNWT and the quality of programs and services delivered to citizens.”
