Get ready for the Employer One Survey in January 2016!
As a business owner or human resources manager you probably get many requests to complete surveys popping into your inbox on a daily basis.
In the case of Workforce Planning Hamilton's Employer One Survey we know that once you understand the benefits of completing our annual survey you'll want to join the hundreds of local employers who complete it annually.
By sharing your company's hiring needs, challenges and plans for the future you'll be providing current labour market information that will be shared with job seekers, employment counsellors, school board, post-secondary institutions and government agencies to help clients and agencies make informed choices. All your responses are kept confidential.
The outcome for your business is a more educated workforce that will increase your company's bottom line and encourage less turnover of staff.
Look for the Employer One Survey link in our newsletter and in your inbox in January 2016. The survey will be live from January 4 - 31, 2016. For more information on the survey please contact Viktor Cicman at 905-521-5777 or by email: viktorcicman@workforceplanninghamilton.ca
