Employer-employee disconnect frustrates job market conditions, survey finds

At the height of the global financial crisis in 2008, more than half of British Columbians identified the economy and jobs as the most important issue facing the province. A decade and a half later, that proportion has dropped to 12 per cent.

The survey collected responses from two distinct groups: A sample of employers, which encompassed business owners and staffers who handle employment matters, and a sample of job seekers, which included adult residents of B.C. who are currently looking for work or who would entertain the opportunity to leave their current full-time or part-time position, if the right opportunity came along.

While the same five features are present on the “wish list” of job seekers, the emphasis is decidedly different. A majority want to know about the salary first, then focus on work-life balance , additional benefits , advancement and, ranked last, a company’s work environment and office culture . While these numbers do not represent a majority of business owners and staffers who handle employment matters, they are still noteworthy. The chance to establish a successful connection may be lost if decision makers lack the time and energy to pursue a careful and equitable process.
