Building on our 2022 Engagement Survey: insights from 2024
As an employee, when you feel engaged at work, you bring passion, commitment and creativity to your job. Engaged teams drive innovation, collaborate more effectively and go the extra mile to achieve both personal and organizational goals.
At Royal Roads, we know that engagement doesn’t happen by chance—it’s shaped by key engagement drivers: the factors that influence how connected, supported, and motivated we feel in our workplace.
In November 2022, we invited you, our employees, to share your experiences through our Employee Engagement Survey, helping us identify what’s working well and where we can improve. Now, in 2024, we’re building on those insights with our latest survey results—continuing the conversation and taking action to make Royal Roads an even better place to work.

The survey was open for three weeks, during which 75 % of our employees shared their insights on their experience working at RRU and provided valuable suggestions for continuous improvement.
About the survey
The survey was open from November 19 to December 11, 2024, and was administered through McLean & Company, an independent HR research firm. Partnering with McLean & Company ensures transparency, confidentiality, and impartiality, allowing employees to share their feedback openly and honestly.
A key update in the 2024 survey was the introduction of Inclusion as a new engagement driver. In 2022, EDI-related questions were intentionally excluded, as this data was collected separately through the CCDI Environmental Scan in May 2022. Since this is the first time Inclusion is being measured in this format, there are no previous benchmarks—but it marks an important step toward fostering a more inclusive workplace at Royal Roads.
The survey has been approved by the RRU Research Ethics Board and will be used for internal quality improvement purposes. For further information, please contact ethicalreview@royalroads.ca.
