Canadian Job Numbers as Expected for September

The job numbers were released on Friday for Canada for September.

 

Here are the highlights:

 

-          The unemployment rate for Canada declined 0.2 percentage points to 6.9% primarily as a result of fewer youths searching for work.  This is the lowest unemployment rate in Canada since December, 2008, but it is not reflective of the real unemployment rate since this doesn’t include a significant number of people who are no longer looking for work (who have dropped out of the labour participation numbers)

-          While employment increased by 11,900, there was a significant decrease in manufacturing jobs with 26,000 jobs lost in September.

-          The unemployment rate for Ontario declined 0.2 percentage points to 7.3%.

-          Alberta and Saskatchewan continue to have the lowest provincial unemployment rates in the country at 4.3% while New Brunswick has the highest unemployment rate at 10.7%

 

The U.S. job numbers have not been released for September because of the government shutdown.

October HR E-News: Five Ways to Improve Your Compensation Strategy

	HR E-NEWS: OCTOBER 2013
	Article: Five Ways to Improve Your Compensation Strategy Article Written By: Tess C. Taylor, PHR Years ago, a college graduate had a long-term future and a pension plan with a single company to look forward to. Nowadays, however, the average life-span of a career is determined by the performance of the company. In uncertain times, working professionals are seeking compensation that’s outside of traditional salaries and retirement perks. They are looking for a compensation strategy that’s based on their individual contribution and competency. Offering More Than Just a Paycheck As a growing organization, it makes sense to develop an improved compensation strategy. Why? Your business needs to attract the best candidates who can innovate and lead your company in the industry. Secondly, in order to retain high performance employees, your compensation plan should offer more than just a competitive salary. Having access to additional compensation, whether in the form of added financial benefits or non-monetary incentives, can go a long way towards creating a loyal employee population.

Article: Seven Tips for Giving Feedback (and Making it a Lot Less Difficult, Too)   Article Written By: Carol Anderson How do you feel when it’s that time to provide “feedback” to your team? It might be performance feedback or development feedback, but my guess is that it’s not your favorite thing to do. Step back for a moment, though, and think about your role as a leader. What is the single biggest responsibility of a leader? One can say “delivering results” but the truth is, leaders don’t deliver results; their teams deliver results. Could it be that the leader’s primary role is to develop their teams to deliver results? If the leader can deliver the results alone, the organization doesn’t need the team. And if the leader isn’t coaching the team to results, the organization doesn’t need the leader. READ MORE
