In 2020, Corporations Canada implemented its first Client satisfaction index. Immediately after submitting a request for incorporation online, clients were invited to voluntarily participate in a survey to provide feedback in relation to their recent transaction. Responses were based on the process involved to fill out and submit their request for incorporation, as well as their possible interaction with a contact centre agent (if applicable).

Overall in 2020, 90% of clients would speak positively about their experience with Corporations Canada after a recent federal incorporation.
Why implement a client satisfaction index?
"A one-point increase in client experience measurement boosts the number of clients who were willing to comply, engage, advocate for, trust and forgive the organization."Footnote 1
In 2020 Corporations Canada conducted a client satisfaction survey to measure and benchmark the client experience, while identifying areas for continual improvement. Through research, Corporations Canada identified 6 key client satisfaction drivers. The client satisfaction index acts as a barometer and helps to guide Corporations Canada in optimizing service and products in support of federally incorporated companies in the Canadian business landscape.
