OPS Employee Survey – Confidentiality

OPS Employees generously share their views of their workplace experiences when they complete the employee survey. We know that protecting privacy and confidentiality is of utmost importance, and the OPS Employee Survey has numerous provisions to protect respondents’ confidentiality.

• Individual survey responses are collected by IPSOS.
• Ipsos removes the email addresses and any survey identification numbers created by the OPS before entering responses into its database. This ensures that responses cannot be tracked back to an individual employee.
• No one in the OPS has access to respondents’ individual answers.
• The responses will only be used by Ipsos to produce generalized summaries including tables and graphs.
• In addition, Ipsos will not report on any item where there are less than 10 respondents.

Ipsos Reid is a member of the Marketing Research Intelligence Association, which has a code of standards and ethics for survey research.   For further details please see the Ipsos Canada Privacy Policy.

We appreciate the trust that OPS employees place in us, and we will adhere to the provisions outlined above to ensure all responses are treated with the highest standards of confidentiality.
