Canada's Top 100 Employers’ Post

ICYMI: Earlier this week, the Government of Saskatchewan released a new labour market strategy, Building the Workforce for a Growing Economy: the Saskatchewan Labour Market Strategy. The strategy focuses on building a robust workforce by preparing Saskatchewan people for current and emerging jobs and international recruitment efforts. Investing in workforce development is vital for economic success. The Saskatoon Region has experienced considerable economic growth in recent years, which has resulted in a tight labour pool for many industries. The Province’s new strategy is timely, and we look forward to working together to ensure we have the workforce needed to meet current and future demand. https://lnkd.in/gZmyG2cM #yxe #skecon

Today, Premier Scott Moe unveiled 'Building the Workforce for a Growing Economy: the Saskatchewan Labour Market Strategy,' underscoring the critical role of a skilled workforce in our economic growth. The strategy focuses on three pillars: 1️⃣ Preparing local talent for jobs 2️⃣ Recognizing skills within the province 3️⃣ International recruitment. The government’s emphasis on these three pillars directly addresses crucial gaps in our current labour market, setting the stage for a robust and prosperous future that aligns with the needs of our members. We are further encouraged by the government's commitment to cutting red tape, facilitating the seamless integration of skilled workers, and enhancing overall efficiency. 💼 📈 The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce and its Labour Market Council look forward to collaborating with government to address the evolving needs of our business community.

NEW EVENT: Care workers do the work that lets us all work. Every day, 1 in 5 Canadian workers wake up to care for others. In Health care, childcare and seniors care, these are the people that run Canada’s care economy. But amidst low productivity, declining birth rates, labour shortages and an increasing senior population, their work is more important today than ever before. How can Canada leverage the care economy to tackle the broader challenges we face? How can we strengthen this growing segment of our economy to boost productivity and support the middle-class jobs that drive growth? Join Canadian Club Toronto and the Honourable Seamus O'Regan Jr., federal Minister of Labour and Minister for Seniors, on June 13 for an engaging discussion on the Canadian workforce of the 21st century and building an economy focused on dignity.

The government’s response to the Workforce Australia Inquiry report, made yesterday, is weak on the major structural reforms that are needed to stop privatised employment services from causing harm to people who are unemployed.    Given there are more than 700,000 people who are currently required to use employment services, many of whom are in financially dire positions, there is a need for urgent action to address very real ongoing risks.    Structural reform is needed because the design of employment services as we know them is underpinned by a basic lack of respect – the same big-stick policy approach that enabled Robodebt and its disastrous heavy-handed compliance approach. Threats to social security payments deprive people of the security they need to function effectively while they look for work.    The government’s response does not address the fundamental problems that have been caused by privatisation, which has failed to deliver effective services.     More than a third of existing providers are failing to meet the performance benchmarks that have been set for them, and very few providers are meeting a high quality of service.     “We are now two years into the Workforce Australia model and nothing has changed for the people who are required to use the services,” says EJA CEO Kate Allingham.    “Payment suspensions are still out of control, and every day we see examples of employment services breaking the rules they are supposed to follow. There are nearly 700,000 people who use Workforce Australia who need better services – and quickly.    “People also need to be relieved from the excessive levels of reporting required under the points-based activation model, and to get exemptions from meeting requirements easily.    “While we appreciate that a number of measures were announced in this year’s Budget, we were hoping that the government would commit to the major structural reforms mooted by the House of Reps committee inquiry.    “Every effort is needed to ensure the Budget reforms come quickly and that they are more than band-aid measures.”    Employment services can be rebuilt with the needs of people looking for work at the centre of the design. If the $1.4-billion annual investment in these services is to be spent well, a new and more inclusive approach is needed.     Read our full submission to the inquiry here: https://lnkd.in/gzZzFQvk Media release here: https://lnkd.in/g8VMiZat

Minister: Bermuda’s working population is made up of Bermudians & guest workers. The demographic problem concerns both of these groups. Solutions proposed to mitigate the demographic cliff-edge that we face target both Bermudians & guest workers.
