The Canadian Workplace Culture Index (CWCI) and the Angus Reid Institute set out to gather Canadian’s opinions about workplace culture and create an index representing how Canadians felt about workplace culture, in the midst of the global COVID pandemic. In 2021, we conducted a survey of full-time employed Canadians from across the country and from workplaces of various sizes and industries.

“There were many surprising results to come out of this survey, not least of which was that BIPOC Canadians were three times more likely to have lost their job as a result of COVID-19,” said CWCI Founder and CEO Antonio Zivanovic.

“Additionally, the feedback that large companies have the highest loyalty rates was a surprise and shows that these organizations are the ones making strides in employee retention.”

Key Insights From Our Research:

• BIPOC Canadians are three times more likely to state they have been let go from their company because of COVID-19
• 60 percent of Canadians say they’d leave their current job for the same position at another organization for a 10 percent raise
• More than 30 percent of Canadians believe that people get away with bullying at their organizations
• More than 1 in 3 Canadians believe that senior managers don’t make an effort to listen to & check-in with and connect with employees
• Working Canadians aged 35 – 44 were more likely to express opinions of workplace dissatisfaction than any other age group
