Public servants losing confidence, major agribusiness merger

  • A survey released on July 3, 2025, reveals that just 55% of federal public servants express confidence in senior management within their departments or agencies in Ottawa.
  • This decline in confidence follows pandemic-related delivery fatigue, shifting priorities, recent labour strikes, and contentious work-from-home disputes affecting perceptions of senior management.
  • Despite lower confidence in senior management, 80% of respondents remain satisfied with immediate supervisors, nearly half report effective decision-making, and almost two-thirds say senior managers model ethical behaviour.
  • The survey, conducted from October 28 to December 31, 2024, gathered responses from 186,635 employees across 93 federal departments with a response rate of 50.5%.
  • Public servants await Prime Minister Mark Carney’s plans to cap the public service and boost productivity while emphasizing employee empowerment over merely replacing poor performers.
