The employer-employee relationship and plan sponsorship in a post-pandemic Canada
The relationship between employers and employees is at an inflection point, post-pandemic.
In our inaugural Next Paper: "Flux Benefits", we look at the perspective of working Canadians and how their working lives have changed. We’ll highlight opportunities you have as an employer to establish a more productive and mutually beneficial employer-employee relationship.
In May 2023, People Corporation contracted Research + Knowledge = Insights – an independent Canadian research firm – to conduct a study of 1,535 working Canadians. Our goal was to learn more about their perspective on how their working lives have changed, how they feel about the relationship they have with their employer and what they expect from company-sponsored group benefits and savings plans.
Change is rarely easy. Yet while we'll cover and highlight present challenges to both employees and employers, we are headed in a positive direction. Ahead lies a workplace that provides Canadians greater agency, better health and increased productivity.
