In 2018–19, CAS established an ombudsperson position for the organization. This new position was created in response to public service surveys indicating improvement is required in areas of workplace well-being, including harassment and discrimination, as well as the Clerk of the Privy Council’s commitment to making mental health and workplace well-being a priority. It provides a safe, impartial space, for employees to discuss a variety of topics such as career, mental health, interpersonal conflict, stress and other workplace issues in a confidential setting. This reinforces a workplace culture that focuses on values, respect, teamwork, fairness, civility, responsibility and accountability. The ombudsperson reports directly to the Chief Administrator. Camille Therriault-Power serves as CAS’s Ombudsperson.
