With fewer brick and mortar locations, increase in online services, and supply chain challenges, rapid change has hit the retail industry hard. This is putting new pressure on employers when it comes to finding and keeping talent - the ones that lay the groundwork for your organization to thrive. Building your retail talent foundation begins with competitive pay and benefits, which starts with insightful and trusted market data.

Motivate and attract top talent based on data from the Canada Retail Compensation and Benefits Survey, which provides data for 642 jobs across numerous position families, including central administration, distribution, e-commerce, finance/accounting, and much more.

Go beyond pay for your retail employees, with survey data on:

  • Short-term incentive amounts
