HR Insights

Keep your HR policies and offerings competitive 

Updated: October 10, 2024

The HR Insights series is intended to help you and your HR staff quickly determine whether your HR policies are competitive and adjust accordingly.

These quarterly data briefings highlight innovative, forward-thinking approaches and practices around a specific policy area, presented alongside national benchmarking data—everything you need for a complete assessment of your HR policy or practice.  

Each report will focus on a single area. Upcoming topics in this series include paid time off (PTO), diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) team structures, and health and safety monitoring and tracking.  

Insights into innovation and competitiveness   

Learn how other organizations design and execute their policies and offerings, hear about new ideas, and identify ones that could enhance your own HR strategy—all supported by recent, relevant, worldwide research, benchmark data, and descriptive analytics drawn from a recent Conference Board of Canada survey. The data analysis goes beyond simple policy summaries, examining multiple components of a policy with dedicated data sets and user-friendly charts and tables to visualize findings and trends.  

The HR insights series provides everything your HR department needs to determine whether you currently offer a competitive advantage or whether it’s time to refine your policies and offerings. 

Crafting the Right Paid Time Off Package
