The Canadian workforce is changing at a breakneck pace and many business leaders are struggling to keep up. We know that retaining our best talent is paramount to maintaining a competitive edge and that keeping employees satisfied isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s how we drive growth.
As more Canadian professionals join the growing ranks of the self-employed – our research projects that full and part-time freelancers, independent contractors and on-demand workers are expected to make up to 45 per cent of the workforce by 2020 – it’s becoming increasingly difficult for leaders to create a culture and employee engagement model that keeps workers of all types happy, loyal and fulfilled.
