Career and recognition
Data categories
Having a career that is both challenging and rewarding can help increase job satisfaction, productivity, and engagement. When people are stimulated at work, they are more likely to be motivated to perform at their best and contribute to the organization’s success. A rewarding career also helps foster a sense of common purpose and shared engagement.
It is important to invest in employees and members, providing opportunities for skills-based learning and career growth, so they can maintain a challenging and rewarding Defence career. This ultimately helps create a culture of high performance, collaboration, and continuous improvement, as well as improve DND/CAF job satisfaction, engagement, and retention.

Recognition
When employees feel valued at work, they are more engaged, productive and likely to stay. Recognition in the Defence team includes formal awards for achievement (such as CAF honours, medals, and awards and public service awards and recognition), as well as informal acknowledgement of an employee or members;s successes to that person, their peers, or to leadership.
Recognizing the achievements and efforts of the Defence Team reinforces positive behaviours and attitudes that contribute to a more inclusive workplace culture.
Sentiment towards recognition
These metrics are from the Public Service Employee Survey (PSES), which is sent to DND public service employees and the Your Say Matters (YSM) survey, which is sent to both CAF members and DND public service employees.
