This independent benchmarking study examines how Canadian municipalities
currently listen to employees — how feedback is collected, how it reaches
leadership and elected councils, and what action planning and culture
change follows. Results will be published in the 2026 State of Employee
Listening Strategic Report, giving every participating municipality a
clear picture of where they stand relative to national peers.
