The Canadian Tourism Human Resource Council (CTHRC) and STEC respectfully request your participation in the 2010 Canadian Tourism Sector Compensation Study.
The CTHRC reports that while Saskatchewan was the province least affected by the economic downturn, it will be the first and only province to see a labour shortage in 2010. Ontario, on the other hand, is not expected to see a shortage until 2013, despite the severe economic consequences that were reported in this province (The Future of Canada’s Tourism Sector: Economic Recession Only a Temporary Reprieve from Labour Shortages, p. 3).
As a Saskatchewan employer, you cannot change economic or labour market trends, but you CAN change the way you respond to these issues. If you want to attract, recruit and retain skilled workers for peak performance in your workplace, employees need to know your compensation package is competitive.
You will be able to download the 2010 compensation study on the CTHRC website. This valuable information will help you better understand the tourism labour market and assess the competitiveness of your compensation offerings. This in turn will assist you in attracting and retaining the staff you need to run your business.
In addition to benefiting individual businesses, this research has been instrumental in assisting STEC and the Saskatchewan Hotel & Hospitality Association in demonstrating to both federal and provincial government agencies responsible for immigration that our industry provides excellent employment opportunities. It is critical that we keep our compensation data current in order to support our efforts in this area.
