Most municipalities benchmark their services to residents. Very few benchmark how well they listen to the people delivering those services. That gap is what TalentMap's State of Employee Listening in Canadian Municipalities – 2026 is designed to close. It focuses on how employee sentiment reaches leadership and council, and whether it drives real policy and culture change. More than 30 municipalities are already contributing their data, including City of Kitchener, Halifax Regional Municipality, Region of Waterloo, and Regional Municipality of York. Participation takes 10 minutes. The study closes May 15, 2026.
