BODY COPY:

TalentMap, Canada's employee listening research firm with 20 years of public sector expertise, is conducting the State of Employee Listening in Canadian Municipalities – 2026: the first national benchmark of its kind, supported by provincial municipal associations across Canada. The study examines how municipalities currently listen to employees, how that feedback reaches leadership and elected councils, and what action planning and culture change follows.

Participation takes just 10 minutes, is completely anonymous, and carries no sales follow-up. More than 30 municipalities across Canada are already contributing their data, and the study closes May 15, 2026.


BENEFITS (formatted list):

Participating municipalities receive:

  * National peer benchmarking using Canadian municipal data, not private-sector proxies
  * Early access to the 2026 State of Employee Listening Strategic Report before public release
  * A strategic roadmap for action planning to strengthen your municipality's listening culture
  * An invitation to a findings session reviewing key insights from across all participating municipalities
