Ombuds Annual Report: Organizational Well-Being—A Shared Responsibility—September 2024 to August 2025

This year’s reporting period coincides with significant feedback captured in the 2024 Public Service Employee Survey, published in June 2025. Results reflected notable declines in satisfaction, including a drop in the percentage of respondents who would recommend the OAG as a great place to work—from 87% (2020 survey) to 49% (2024 survey).

I know these results are painful for many who take great pride in and care deeply about this organization, its mandate, and its people. Organizational challenges can be complex and persistent. I hope this report will promote reflection, discussion, ongoing commitment, and optimism for improving our workplace together.

Skills and Competencies Taxonomy Data (SCT) 2023 - Version 1.0

The Skills and Competencies Taxonomy (SCT) streamlines the terminology of hundreds of occupational descriptors used in the labour market. Each descriptor is associated with one of the seven categories (skills, abilities, personal attributes, knowledge, interests, work context and work activities), which are then further divided into sub-categories. 

 

The SCT is one of the two pillars of the Occupational and Skills Information System (OaSIS), which provides measurement indicators for most descriptors in the Taxonomy across more than 900 occupations. 

 

The 2023 version of the SCT introduces updates and improvements to labels and descriptors. Errors were corrected and syntax was refined. Three descriptors were reinstated, and two new descriptors were added under the categories of Abilities and Work Activities.  Additionally, the information derived from the Holland Codes, which forms the basis of the Interests category, was modified to better align the SCT with the OaSIS framework. “Foundational Knowledge” was created under Knowledge category as a new subcategory, and Languages and Mathematics descriptors were moved under this new subcategory.

Number of employees facing potential pay inaccuracies at the Pay Centre

Certain types of cases are known to affect pay accuracy and have financial impacts on pay if they are not processed on time. Outstanding transactions, also known as cases in the backlog, are cases that are still unprocessed by the Pay Centre more than 45 days past their service standards. Such cases, when they have a financial impact on pay, generate pay inaccuracies unless the case is partially processed to address the financial portion. Any employee with such a type of case in the backlog is almost certain to be paid inaccurately.

This dataset represents the count of individual employees with cases having financial impacts in the backlog. Data will include only employees from departments and agencies served by the Pay Centre.
