Labour shortages are a perennial concern in the landscape industry. Please help us quantify the shortage by completing our brief online survey.
We intend to use this information in partnership with HRDC to develop programs that will improve the availability and competency of labour in the horticulture industry.
Please use the online survey to predict your new labour requirements. Do not include employees that are currently employed and will be returning to your company in the spring. Please fill out only those jobs that apply to your operations.
All responses will be anonymous..
