Overview

In 2008, The Beacon Group launched our inaugural Human Capital Leaders survey in order to get a feel for the state of Human Capital management in Canada.

Canadian corporations are facing labour shortages and surging retirement rates, all the while engaging in a "War for Talent" to attract and retain a new generation of employees.

These are the challenges you and your peers are facing in a changing economy today.
