The Conference Board’s annual Industrial Relations Outlook brings experts from labour and management together in a roundtable discussion to share their views on what the upcoming year will bring. The Outlook for 2016 combines up-to-date economic forecasting and compensation data to set the context, and includes the results of a survey on labour relations issues in Canada.
While no one has a crystal ball, certain themes emerge for 2016. The economic environment is uncertain, and labour relations are expected to reflect this uncertainty. Both management and labour are likely to tread carefully. Both will have to deal with fiscal restraint; a soft Canadian dollar; an aging workforce; younger workers’ desire for work-life balance; changing technologies; new labour legislation; and a new federal government.
Some success stories highlight how management and labour have successfully manoeuvred through many obstacles and made positive transformational changes to their relationship.
