Supply constraints will be similarly acute among lower-skill workers in the region over the first part of period, potentially due to wage differentials with competing sectors. Supply constraints are expected to loosen beginning in 2023 as a result of stagnant employment demands projected for competing industries in the region.<\/p><p>The region\u2019s population is expected to reach nearly 920,000 by 2020 and surpass 950,000 by 2030, with moderate average annual growth of 0.7%. Additionally, while net migration of 68,000 individuals is expected to be a source of population growth in the region, it will be outpaced by natural population growth. Rising retirements will cause labour force growth to lag behind employment, resulting in a decline in the regional unemployment rate to below 4.0% by 2030.<\/p><p>Meat processing employment in the region is expected to rise from less than 3,100 workers in 2017 to nearly 3,200 by 2020 and 3,400 by 3020, with average annual growth of 0.8%. Local processors will likely need to hire over 1,600 additional workers between 2017 and 2030, due primarily to the need to replace workforce retirements. This figure does not include turnovers which can add significantly to total annual recruitment demands.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

processing industry in Canada. The regionally focused LMI is one component of a broader study undertaken by Food Processing Skills Canada (FPSC) in collaboration with the Employment and Social Development Canada, and various provincial and industry partners entitled Securing Canada\u2019s Meat Workforce: Real Challenges, Practical Solutions and Fresh Perspectives.<\/strong><\/p><p>The aim of the overall study is to identify the scope of human resource (HR) challenges for the meat processing sector, and compile HR best practices that would help employers meet their labour force current and future needs. One important aspect of understanding HR challenges in the sector, some of which are region specific, was to gather detailed information and profiles of areas that rely heavily on meat processing for their local economies. Fourteen regions across Canada were selected for specific focus based on the amount of processing activity, and proportion of labour force working in the industry. L\u00e9vis Region in quebec was selected as one of these regions for detailed focus.<\/p><p>The initial sections of this report provide overviews of the L\u00e9vis Region, meat processing overall in the province of quebec, and specifically in the L\u00e9vis Region. This is followed by sections that provide an overview of the region\u2019s labour force, and specific findings for the labour supply and demand, current and future. The final two report sections outline HR challenges identified in the region, and some of the promising practices and innovative solutions that employers and communities are trying to address labour supply issues.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9e55dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c9e55dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">THE STUDY METHODS USED TO DEVELOP\nTHESE DETAILED REGIONAL PROFILES\nINCLUDED:<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e15b19d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e15b19d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Two robust econometric models that provide detailed, quantifiable projections for both labour demand and supply at the regional level.

Although the total population will increase, it will begin to be an aging population with the proportion of the age cohort 65 years or older rising from 19.7% in 2017 to approximately 26.3% by 2030 (see Figure 1). while population growth will be negatively impacted by the continued aging of the population and increased number of deaths, this will be countered by a predicted continuation of a pattern of net in-migration of approximately 68, 000 people by 2030. Overall, the period under study will be impacted by the predicted in-migration in the region, which will result in a rise in population, although growth through immigration would be outpaced by births (see Figure 2).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-019df4f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"019df4f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-31-at-1.17.01\u202fPM-1024x401.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6878\" alt=\"FIGURE 1: POPULATION BY AGE GROUP (%) (2017 TO 2030) Bar chart showing the percentage distribution of population by age group from 2017 to 2030.

In 2008, approximately 150 recent immigrants relocated to the region, and that number has increased in recent years to 200 people. One advantage of relocating permanent residents is that these individuals generally are fluent in French, although the plant provided language lessons to help in the transition. More than 30 nationalities are represented among the workers who were relocated. Plants in the area have also made efforts to contract temporary foreign workers to help solve labour shortages issues.

These factors will also contribute to a growing labour force for the region, albeit at a slower rate than population growth given the aging population and anticipated retirements. As a result, unemployment rates are expected to decline from an average of 4.0% to 3.8% based on increased opportunities, but slower growth in the overall labour force.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ae8029 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1ae8029\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">LABOUR MARKET TIGHTNESS EXPLAINED<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45626f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"45626f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Specifically, for this project, the analytic team developed an approach to demonstrate the \u201ctightness\u201d of the labour market in supplying the employment demands from meat processing in the identified regions. This was calculated by estimating labour requirements in other sectors in the region (non meat-processing labour requirements) and subtracting those requirements from the total labour force estimates. This difference results in an estimated \u201cresidual\u201d labour force for the region from which meat processing needs to draw. Not all of the meat processing workers come from the residual pool, as the sector actively competes with other sectors for workers; however, the \u201ctightness\u201d measure indicates where shortages are likely occurring for not only the meat processing sector but likely other sectors drawing from the same labour supply. Using this approach, the current and future labour market tightness was calculated to determine the extent to which the region\u2019s labour force can meet the labour requirements of all sectors (both non-meat processing and meat processing).<\/p><p>As illustrated in Table 8 and Figure 5, the Total Meat Processing Employment (Annual Average) is higher than the Residual Total Labour Force. This suggests that there is currently (2017) an insufficient local labour force to meet all of the region\u2019s labour requirements (for all industries) leaving an overall potential gap. This trend continues all the way through to 2030.<\/p><p>The analysis outlined in Table 8 and Figure 5 describes the labour market context within which the meat processors in the L\u00e9vis Region are operating with respect to finding sufficient numbers of workers from the local labour supply. Within this very tight, competitive labour market, the industry employers have had some success recruiting. For example, in 2017, the meat processing industry was able to recruit and employ 3,074 within a labour market that had a residual total labour force of only 2,495. This means that the meat processing industry was likely recruiting workers from other industries and from outside the local region. While the industry did experience vacancies, these would likely have been substantially higher had it not been successful in recruiting labour external to the region, and\/or competing with other industries in recruiting workers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-576627c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"576627c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aef4b7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aef4b7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>TABLE 8: TOTAL LABOUR MARKET TIGHTNESS \u2013 L\u00c9VIS REGION \u2013 2017-2030<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b71210a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b71210a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"overflow-x: auto;\"><table class=\"red-table-3\"><tbody><tr><th>\u00a0<\/th><th>2017<\/th><th>2018<\/th><th>2019<\/th><th>2020<\/th><th>AVG 2021-2025<\/th><th>AVG 2026-2030<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Total Labour Force<sup>4<\/sup><\/td><td>506,337<\/td><td>510,915<\/td><td>513,998<\/td><td>514,544<\/td><td>516,215<\/td><td>519,596<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total Non-Meat Processing Labour Requirement<sup>5<\/sup><\/td><td>503,842<\/td><td>508,310<\/td><td>511,373<\/td><td>511,848<\/td><td>513,287<\/td><td>517,087<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Residual Total Labour Force<sup>6<\/sup><\/td><td>2,495<\/td><td>2,605<\/td><td>2,625<\/td><td>2,697<\/td><td>2,928<\/td><td>2,899<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total Meat Processing Employment (Annual Average)<\/td><td>3,074<\/td><td>3,101<\/td><td>3,133<\/td><td>3,164<\/td><td>3,242<\/td><td>3,359<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13edefe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"13edefe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">FIGURE 5: TOTAL MEAT PROCESSING EMPLOYMENT AND RESIDUAL LABOUR FORCE \u2013 L\u00c9VIS REGION \u2013 2017-2030<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbaa4cd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dbaa4cd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-31-at-2.05.53\u202fPM-1024x504.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6891\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-31-at-2.05.53\u202fPM-1024x504.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-31-at-2.05.53\u202fPM-300x148.webp 300w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-31-at-2.05.53\u202fPM-768x378.webp 768w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-31-at-2.05.53\u202fPM-1536x756.webp 1536w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-31-at-2.05.53\u202fPM.png 1914w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e856e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0e856e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">4 The labour force includes all individuals who are either employed or unemployed and actively seeking work.

Given much of the focus is on the lower-skill level labour force, the study also analyzed the \u201ctightness\u201d of the lower-skill level labour market (see Table 9 and Figure 6). The tightness of lower-skill level labour market is also high. For example, in 2017, the meat processing industry was able to recruit and employ 1,832 workers within a labour market that had a residual total labour force of only 932. This means that the meat processing industry was likely recruiting workers from other industries, and from outside the local region. This level of tightness suggests that many of the industries that rely on a lower-skill level labour market are also experiencing labour shortages in this

This trend is anticipated to continue throughout the period of study (2017 to 2030), except for a slight improvement in the availability of lower-skill workers as of 2024. These results assume similar industry employment demand (e.g., no new major employers arriving or leaving the area), and no major changes in net migration patterns.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0d108c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c0d108c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"384\" height=\"452\" src=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-25-at-4.43.03\u202fPM.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-5172\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-25-at-4.43.03\u202fPM.png 384w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-25-at-4.43.03\u202fPM-255x300.webp 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c804b36 dark-section e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c804b36\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dfbc22c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dfbc22c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">TABLE 10: SUMMARY OF LABOUR MARKET TIGHTNESS \u2013 L\u00c9VIS REGION \u2013 2017-2030<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef57bf0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ef57bf0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"148\" src=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-31-at-2.12.42\u202fPM-1024x148.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6893\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-31-at-2.12.42\u202fPM-1024x148.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-31-at-2.12.42\u202fPM-300x43.webp 300w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-31-at-2.12.42\u202fPM-768x111.webp 768w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-31-at-2.12.42\u202fPM-1536x222.webp 1536w, https:\/\/lmi.fpsc-ctac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Screenshot-2024-10-31-at-2.12.42\u202fPM-2048x296.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a917723 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a917723\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>1 = Meat processing employment demand is less than 50% of regional labour force at annual average employment levels<\/p><p>2 = Meat processing employment demand is between 50 and 100% of regional labour force at annual average employment levels<\/p><p>3 = Meat processing employment demand is greater than 100% of regional labour force at annual average employment level<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9da0d0e dark-section e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9da0d0e\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4fc900 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e4fc900\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">6.2 NUMBER OF WORKERS REQUIRED<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-789c199 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"789c199\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Within a very tight labour market, projections indicate that the L\u00e9vis Region employers will need to attract approximately 1,500 new workers to the meat processing industry by 2030. This is equivalent to approximately 49% of their current annual average workforce. This requirement is due to both anticipated industry growth and replacement of anticipated retirements over this period. Unfortunately, this recruitment will be occurring within the context of a very tight regional labour market that is currently experiencing labour shortages which are predicted to continue during this period. This tightness in the labour market is contributing to the high number of current vacancies experienced by employers in meat processing (estimated at 19% in Quebec), and to some degree the higher turnover rates in the industry as workers have more employment opportunities from which to choose, particularly in the lower-skill level occupations (estimated imputed turnover rate of 56% in Quebec in meat processing industry). All these factors contribute to the substantial challenges facing L\u00e9vis Region meat processors in their attempts to recruit enough workers to replace retirements, fill ongoing vacancies, work to address turnover rates, while also trying to grow, remain competitive and increase productivity.<\/strong><\/p><p>Overall, it is anticipated that as of 2017, there will be a need for increased numbers of new hires, due to both industry growth and the need for replacements due to anticipated retirements and deaths among the workforce (see Table 11). Overall, this results in the need to attract 1,516 new workers to the industry between 2018 and 2030. This equates to replacing approximately 49% of the current average meat processing workforce in the region.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9101112 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9101112\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2eb171f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2eb171f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>TABLE 11: HIRING REQUIREMENT OUTLOOK \u2013 L\u00c9VIS REGION \u2013 2017-2030<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de7e8b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"de7e8b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"overflow-x: auto;\">\n<table class=\"red-table-3\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th><\/th>\n<th>2017<\/th>\n<th>2018<\/th>\n<th>2019<\/th>\n<th>2020<\/th>\n<th>SUM 2021-\n2025<\/th>\n<th>SUM 2026-\n2030<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Net Hiring Requirement<sup>8<\/sup><\/td>\n<td>207<\/td>\n<td>115<\/td>\n<td>122<\/td>\n<td>120<\/td>\n<td>588<\/td>\n<td>571<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Industry Growth<\/td>\n<td>19<\/td>\n<td>26<\/td>\n<td>33<\/td>\n<td>31<\/td>\n<td>131<\/td>\n<td>103<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Retirements and Mortality<\/td>\n<td>87<\/td>\n<td>88<\/td>\n<td>89<\/td>\n<td>90<\/td>\n<td>457<\/td>\n<td>468<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04e5a75 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"04e5a75\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">The employment outlook according to occupation is detailed in Table 12 (Annual Average).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4d699b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f4d699b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">8 Net hiring requirement does not include hiring required as a result of turnover (i.e. hiring workers to replace individuals who quit or are fired from their positions).

While this is often a motto or desired area of emphasis for many businesses, numerous examples were provided where this was being put into practice. For instance:<\/p><ul><li>One of the main plants offers benefits to employees (health and dental benefits, bonuses for working evening and night shifts, and prizes to employees).<\/li><li>They are constantly working in developing a team based brand and developing programs to increase engagement and a sense of belonging on the part of employees. One major undertaking by one large employer in the region has been the development of an HR campaign to change the industry image and decrease turnover by highlighting the pride that employees have in working at the plant and offering a high-quality product. The marketing campaign reflects the experiences lived by the workers in the professional day-to-day, and photographs are posted in the plant, online and used in recruitment materials. It is expected to impact the organizational culture and HR management. Two consultations took place with employees before developing and launching this campaign that showcases photos of workers during their daily activities<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0d9875 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d0d9875\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">AN ESTABLISHED PROCESS TO RELOCATE PERMANENT RESIDENTS<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f602a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2f602a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One main employer interviewed has a process established to recruit permanent residents from large urban areas in the province and to make sure they are welcome and integrate well into the community.

The committee collaborated to ensure that all services, such as enrolling school, securing a driver\u2019s license and finding lodging, among others, were available to the immigrants moving to the region.
