Workplace and Employee Survey (WES) - Custom Tab Request

Question:
I am helping a researcher interested in using the employee version of the (WES) to explore “within-organization discrimination against parents who take maternity/paternity leave”, “does leave results in discrimination?” and “is the person in a leadership position” (this last question seems hardest to answer). I discovered the WES pdf reports on archived Stat Can pages and saw the synthetic files on . I am wondering if any additional tables exist? Would this be something that could be requested via a custom tab?

For the time being, I will be recommending exploration (and sub setting) of the GSS and LFS.

Answer:
In regards to the WES, the data is solely available through the RDC - custom tabulations aren’t possible.
