Benefits Benchmarking 2012

Benchmarking Benefits 2012 summarizes the results of The Conference Board of Canada’s 2012 employer-sponsored benefit program survey. A questionnaire was sent to 2,344 senior-level HR practitioners. The recipients were predominantly from medium-sized and large Canadian organizations operating in a variety of regions and sectors. Between February and April 2012, practitioners from a total of 356 organizations responded to the survey, representing a 15 per cent response rate.

The report provides sound data that will enable Canadian employers to benchmark themselves against their peers and other organizations that they compete with for talent. It explores a wide range of employer-sponsored benefit programs that include extended healthcare plans, dental plans, life and accident plans, disability plans, and legally required programs such as CPP/QPP and EI. The report also includes information on health care spending accounts as well as benefits for part-time employees and retirees.
