Restart & Recovery: COVID-19 in Hamilton

Published: August 10, 2020
Welcome to RESTART & RECOVERY: COVID-19 in Hamilton survey. 
 
About the survey: 
 
This survey explores the longer term impact of the pandemic on your workforce and your organization. In April the City of Hamilton’s Economic Development Department shared a COVID-19 Impact Survey to learn of the immediate effect of the pandemic on your organization. This provided a snapshot of how business was faring at that time.  As Hamilton moves into Phase 3 on the road to recovery, it is important to do a check in with you and dig a little deeper into the challenges and supports you may need in this challenging time.

This survey work is being completed in collaboration and with the endorsement of the Mayor’s Economic Recovery Task Force (ERTF).  The ERTF launched in early June to provide multi-sectoral leadership and direction to guide Hamilton’s economic recovery in the immediate aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The results of this survey will provide ideas and guidance to the ERTF to assist them in building strategies that will aid in the pandemic recovery for your organization. To learn more about the ETRF go to investinhamilton.ca/hamilton-economic-task-force/

Workforce Planning Hamilton is a labour market research and planning organization funded by the provincial Ministry of Labour Training & Skills Development.  Annually in January we gather labour market information through the EmployerOne survey.  To learn more about WPH please go to www.workforceplanninghamilton.ca  

Please know that your individual replies to this survey will be kept entirely confidential and only aggregate information will be reported to the community. 

We hope that you will take the time to complete this survey. It is estimated that for most organizations it will take less than 15 minutes to complete.  The information will assist the ERTF and WPH to plan for a successful restart for your business.
 
Please click here to complete the survey. It is only open until August 19, 2020.

EmployerOne Survey 2020

Published: April 22, 2020

 The results are in! Our EmployerOne Survey 2020 was designed to take a snapshot of the Hamilton Labour Market in January 2020. However, with the widespread pandemic,  the data we gathered is most likely no longer up to date as many businesses have been impacted with closures, layoffs, and changes in the overall labour market. We will use this data as a baseline to understand the Hamilton Labour Market prior to COVID-19.

Under Pressure 2.0 - In-Demand Skilled Trades

Published: March 13, 2020
Workforce Planning Hamilton began an investigation into skills gaps in 2017 as we recognized the signs of a tightening labour market in the skilled trades. The narrative continues into 2020 with heightened apprehension among employers of a looming "hiring crisis."
 
Under Pressure 2.0 is a result of speaking to over 130 local employers in the skilled trades and focuses on:
  • Hiring issues from employers' perspectives
  • Hardest to fill skilled trades
  • Employers experiences and critiques on apprenticeships
  • Employers recommendations for potential solutions to the talent shortage
