BC Public Service Morale in Freefall | Vancouver News
Description
B.C. public service morale is plummeting, with only 58% of employees rating their work unit’s vibe as positive — a 13-point drop since 2024. Communication from leadership is failing, and staff feel the squeeze under a hiring freeze that’s still in place despite recent promotion bans being lifted. Top officials acknowledge the strain, but critics say action has been slow — even as staffing levels stabilize and a new “lateral-first” hiring model is being reconsidered. Union leaders welcome the promotion thaw but warn the government must follow through on promises like remote work and retroactive pay, as workers continue to do more with less amid plans to cut 2,500 full-time jobs over three years.
