Ministry Employee Survey

In co-operation with BC Stats, the Human Resource Management branch reviewed and analyzed the results of a ministry-wide employee survey conducted in September 2002. A summary of the results was prepared for executive and formed the basis for the development of the Human Resources Management Plan. This new baseline data provides an opportunity for monitoring change and measuring progress on reaching service plan goals. The results of the survey were communicated to the executive and ministry via our Intranet Web site.
