This session was presented at SocialHRCamp Montreal 2023 on October 26, 2023.
Each September Tech and People Network releases its highly anticipated Canadian Tech Industry Salary and Policy and Practices Survey which encompassses close to 30,000 salary data points from it's 200+ member companies across Canada. In the past 18months the tech industry experienced the extreme swing of the "great resignation" and the (often expensive) struggle to retain their talent directly into a cooling period, with many companies forced to take cost cutting measures. All of this came on top of the resurgence of return to office decisions and the shifting priorities of our workforce.
Stephanie Hollingshead, CEO of Tech and People Network will kick off Montreal's SocialHRCamp by sharing the data on the top insights gleaned from their 2023 data.
