Annual Stakeholder Perception Survey
Help us identify your areas of satisfaction and areas of concerns by taking the annual Stakeholder Perception Survey.
Survey Structure
- Eight long-term trend questions
- Seven perception statements on ethics, compliance, transparency, and health care cost and quality
- Two statement questions on how well CalPERS acts as an effective policy advocate
- One question on overall perception
- Opportunities for open-ended comments and suggestions
- Demographic questions
Data collected from your responses helps us to:
- Assist members and employers with making informed decisions.
- Develop initiatives that ensure consistent communications with our stakeholders.

The survey also provides baseline data for two Strategic Measures in the 2017-22 Strategic Plan (PDF), in the areas of risk and compliance.
