In terms of future workforce gaps, about half of Employers believed that the supply of qualified HR
candidates would be sufficient to fill expected job openings over the next five to 10 years, while onethird
did not feel able to offer an opinion. However, approximately one‐sixth of Employers felt that
supply would not keep pace with demand, while 6% believed that a future shortage may be possible.
The majority of those predicting future shortages believed that needs would be greatest for Labour
Relations Representatives, Health & Safety Specialists, and HR Generalists.
