Written by Cloudpermit | Sep 5, 2024 2:00:24 PM

At Cloudpermit, we have the pleasure of working with hundreds of local governments. We gain valuable insights into the significant impact they have on their communities and the dedication they bring to their roles.

We recently held a social media poll to find out what motivates local government professionals to do the important work they do.

The Most Enjoyable Parts of Working in Local Government

Statistics Canada found results that 81% of public servants like their jobs.

This positive sentiment aligns with our findings.

We asked local government staff about the most enjoyable aspect of their work, and one answer stood out: creating community impact. A significant 64% of respondents said this is what they appreciate most about their roles.

Teamwork with colleagues, solving complex challenges, and enhancing local services are tied for the second most popular choice. Clearly, there are many enjoyable aspects of government work.

Government Motivations for Improving Communities

Government work plays an important role in shaping neighborhoods.

In our recent poll, the top spot was shared by two choices: seeing tangible results and the opportunity to innovate. Each option received 30% of the respondents' votes.

Close behind, tied for the second spot was feedback from residents and duty and responsibility with 20% of votes each.

These findings highlight the diverse motivations driving local government employees. They also highlight the dedication of local government staff to enhancing their communities, fostering innovation, and addressing residents' needs.
