Listen "Salary is increasingly being tied to skills -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 29"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we’re looking at new research suggesting employers are increasingly connecting wages and wage increases to skills. According to the brand new 2026 Canada Salary Guide, 83% of employers agree with the view that professionals with specialized skills are paid more than peers without them in the same role. True, employers seem very reluctant to hire un-proven candidates, but is there an opportunity here to shift the conversation to one where we can market people based on their skills and have it resonate with employers?#MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students.If you would like to join us LIVE, we meet every Monday morning online with job developers from across Canada to discuss a new topic.
