According to one business outlook study, more businesses in Canada are planning to hire during the first quarter of 2011, as the economy struggles to get back on its feet.
The Manpower Employment Outlook Survey revealed that a number of employers are excited to add staff during the coming year. The survey revealed that out of the 1,900 employers asked, 16 percent said that they were planning on hiring new workers in the first half of 2011.
"The upcoming quarter's Net Employment Outlook indicates that the hiring climate remains favourable, particularly in the wholesale & retail trade sector," says Lori Procher, vice president and general manager of Manpower Canada. "Employers are telling us that they plan to hire at a similar pace as three months ago. Meanwhile, employers in eight of the 10 industry sectors we track anticipate stronger hiring activity than in early 2010."
According to her LinkedIn profile, Procher was appointed vice president and general manager of Manpower Canada in May 2003. She is responsible for several different areas including the handling of national accounts, sales and marketing, finance and human resources.
