Future
Workforce<\/mark><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Planning today for the future of Canada\u2019s food and beverage manufacturing industry workforce and the increasing global demand for food.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Workforce Projections<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Between 2023 and 2030, the Canadian food and beverage manufacturing industry is estimated to need to hire and retain over 92,500 additional people. The average annual hiring requirement of approximately 11,500 new people per year is driven primarily by the need to replace an estimated 66,800 retirements and age-related exits while considering projected industry growth and labour productivity gains. Additionally, the industry\u2019s current 50,000 vacancies that remain unfilled means the total hiring requirement increases to 142,000 new people or almost 50% of the current workforce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Beverage manufacturing is projected to lead industry growth, with employment increasing 16% between 2023 and 2030. Bakeries and tortilla manufacturing is also projected to see notable employment growth by 2030 from increased consumption over the decade. Dairy and meat processing, segments which have seen a decline in consumption, are projected to see more modest growth over the same period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What are the labour challenges?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Across Canada, 1\/5th of the workforce is aged between 55 and 64 and will be eligible for retirement within the next 10 years. This segment of the workforce will account for up to a forecasted a large number of anticipated vacancies by 2025. There are several geographical barriers which affect the food and beverage industry. For many businesses operating in rural locations, it can be difficult to recruit individuals willing to relocate for a job.

Canada\u2019s meat and Atlantic seafood processors in particular are experiencing unique challenges with recruiting and retaining qualified employees for foundational roles and skilled positions from slaughter to finished product.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program has been an asset to the industry in this regard but does not provide a long-term, sustainable workforce solution.

Understanding the multi-generational workforce<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Like other economic sectors in Canada, food and beverage manufacturers can have up to five generations in their workforce at one time. To examine the diverse perspectives of these generations, research was conducted to understand how an employer can better adapt and innovate to meet generational expectations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bakery Sector Report<\/a><\/h3>\r\n

We asked 100 bakery processors across Canada to give us a full picture of the industry to date. With this better understanding of the industry, we were able to learn about the average size of the facilities, what products are most manufactured and so much more. We also got to see the challenges the sector is facing with 47 of processors reporting that they are not able to fill positions or have chronic recruitment issues. This report gives a full understanding of what is happening now in the bakery processing sector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n
