Own a business in the Okanagan? If so, you’re invited to participate in an employee salary study.
Last week, Accelerate Okanagan launched its study, which is called workforce insights.
The goal, says the non-profit organization, is to gather data that will help local businesses improve their ability to attract and retain employees.
“Anyone who is interested in understanding how their salaries and compensation packages measure up is encouraged to participate,” said Accelerate Okanagan.
“In addition to compensation information from the Okanagan, the final report will have salary comparisons for key regions throughout Canada including Ottawa, Greater Toronto Area, Kitchener/Waterloo, Vancouver, and Vancouver Island.”
Accelerate Okanagan says participating in the study takes around 45 minutes, and that the data should be available this winter.
“This data will also include information relevant to hiring co-op students and new graduates,” said Accelerate Okanagan.
“It’s important to recognize that competitive compensation doesn’t end with salaries. That’s why there will also be information related to vacation, wellness leave, pension, bonuses, stock options and more.”
