Description:
This presentation will focus on how employee engagement impacts evolving benefits and retirement plan trends in Canada today. Mercer research confirms that employees are increasingly disengaged. One in three is seriously considering leaving his or her organization; one in five is indifferent. New Mercer research shows that Canadian employees are less committed to their employers and less satisfied with many aspects of the work experience compared to the previous survey, and they have one of the highest levels of disengagement among the countries surveyed, with a total of 58% "checked out" on some level. Peter will speak to our chapter on how these trends impact our companies and outline trends in benefit and retirement plans. As HR professionals and business partners, it is critical that we are aware of these trends and act proactively to secure our current talent pool and have the ability to attract new talent to our organizations. This presentation will appeal to Senior HR professionals, Front line HR Managers Benefits & Compensation Managers and Specialists, HR Generalists & Students interested in the field of Benefits & Compensation. It will also appeal to HR professionals who work in both unionized and non-unionized environments.
