Rethinking Total Rewards in an Era of Uncertainty

Total Rewards Outlook - Canada

In an era of rapid change, economic uncertainty, and shifting workforce dynamics, organizations face mounting challenges in managing their most valuable asset—their people. Amid hiring slowdowns, evolving talent needs, flattening salary growth, and health care costs rising faster than inflation and wages, nearly half of organizations now prioritize managing or reducing costs, and three-quarters cite budget constraints as a key concern. In response, forward-looking employers are rethinking their reward strategies to ensure every dollar delivers measurable impact, focusing less on expanding budgets and more on reinvesting existing resources to maximize value, drive engagement, and strengthen retention.
