<\/p>\nIn light of these challenges, hiring remains a top priority for Canadian companies. A strong majority (83%) of hiring managers say their companies still plan to hire in 2025, which is in line with last year’s figures. Among those, 33% are hiring to increase their overall headcount, while 37% aim to maintain current staffing levels.<\/p>\n
Notably, 38% of those planning to hire say the need to replace employees lost to turnover is a key driver behind their plans.<\/p>\n
\u201cEmployee turnover isn\u2019t just a staffing issue, it\u2019s a financial one,\u201d said Express CEO Bob Funk, Jr. \u201cCompanies that want to stay competitive must be intentional about retention. That means building a workplace where people see long-term value \u2014 not just in compensation, but in leadership, clarity of direction and the opportunity to contribute
meaningfully.\u201d<\/p>\nSurvey Methodology<\/strong>
