Thank you for your interest in participating in this feedback survey for the new Benefits Finder. This notice statement will explain how we may use the information you provide us.
Who we are
The Portfolio Web group is part of Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). We lead Employment and Social Development Canada’s (ESDC) digital presence on the internet and the intranet. This team is creating a new Benefits Finder that will make it easier for people to get the most accurate results when searching for benefits.
Activity
ESDC considers it essential to get feedback from members of the general public who may eventually use the products and services we are developing. In this activity, we ask potential users to use the new Benefits Finder and then to answer up to 7 questions about the experience. Your responses will help us improve our design.
The outcome for the research activities will be a record of research findings, organized by general theme related to the new Benefits Finder. The outcome of the activity is to improve the efficacy of user services of ESDC by incorporating the user’s perspective in the building of those services.
What we will collect
If you choose to participate in this research activity, your participation will require that you provide the researcher with personal information, including: your opinions about the new Benefits Finder and your experience using it. Please note that the information you provide will be anonymous.
This information will help us improve this early version of the new Benefits Finder. Your views on the finder and the experience of using it will be valuable input to our design and development process. You will be helping ensure that we create a finder that achieves our goals.
The collection and use of this information is authorized and under the authority of Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), in accordance with Section 39 of the Department of Employment and Social Development Act for program analysis, research and evaluation purposes.
