| In 2007, 14,539
regular and auxiliary employees replied to the public service annual Work
Environment Survey. Just 43 percent of them agreed that, in their
work unit, the process of selecting a person for a position is based
on merit. About 31 percent of respondents disagreed, and 25 percent
were neutral.
To gain insight into the reasons for these responses, the Merit
Commissioner used a third party to conduct focus group sessions with
a random selection of employees from the BC Public Service. An
independent report provides details of the ten focus group
sessions, held during the summer and fall of 2007.
The Merit Commissioner's overall analysis of the findings can be
found in our 2007/08 Annual Report. |
