PREFACE

The HRPA Resource Centre often receives requests from members seeking up-to-date benchmarking data to help them make informed HR decisions. Unfortunately, there are currently no sources within our collection that satisfy this need. In order to fill this gap in our knowledge, and to help us provide a better service to our members, the Resource Centre created a survey to gather information on as many different employment topics as possible.

A total of 1,100 HRPA members took part in our survey during September & October of 2017. The collected data was submitted via an anonymous survey that went out to all HRPA members. In order to cut down on erroneous responses, there was an “I don’t know” option for each survey question that respondents could choose. The major sections of the surveys reflect the most popular benchmarking requests we receive at the Resource Centre: compensation practices, benefits, time off, recruitment, learning and turnover. A miscellaneous section containing a variety of data that doesn’t quite fit into the major themes is also included at the end of the report.

Unless otherwise specified, the data is presented as a percentage, and has been rounded up to the first decimal point. The symbol “n” appears frequently, and refers to how many responses were received for the corresponding survey question. The symbol “-” appears within tables when not enough data was available to provide accurate benchmarks. Data is broken down by industries and organization size only when enough responses were available, and their titles have been abbreviated in order to save space. The following list provides the full titles for the industry abbreviations, along with a few other relevant definitions:

All = All responses

Private = Private Sector

Public = Public Sector

Manu = Manufacturing

NFP = Not for Profit

WR = Whole/Retail Distribution

BFPI = Banking, Finance, Pension Funds & Insurance

GPC = Government / Public Commissions

HSS = Health & Social Service

APREE = Agriculture, Primary Resources (Mining, Forestry), Engineering & Energy

Const = Construction

IT = Information Technology

Edu = Educational Institutions & Services

n = Total number of responses for a particular data set

Mode = Most frequent response within the data set

Median = Middle value of data after it has been ranked in order of highest to lowest

Mean = Average taken from all data

1-49, 50-250, 251-1000, 1001-5000, 5001+ = Organization size

0-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20 = Years of experience
