- 1. Measures of Employment Turnover Post 2000: Gross Employment Gains and Losses Versus Net Employment Change ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-626-X2012009Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article in the Economic Insights series decomposes business-sector annual net employment growth into gross employment creation and gross employment destruction at the firm level. It is based on research carried out by Statistics Canada on the topic of business dynamics.
Release date: 2012-06-27 - Articles and reports: 71-584-M2003007Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study examines whether innovative work practices (such as teamwork, job rotation and profit-sharing) reduce employee turnover in both the manufacturing and services sectors.
Release date: 2003-08-27 - 3. Alternative Work Practices and Quit Rates: Methodological Issues and Empirical Evidence for Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2003199Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using a nationally representative sample of establishments, we have examined whether selected alternative work practices (AWPs) tend to reduce quit rates. Overall, our analysis provides strong evidence of a negative association between these AWPs and quit rates among establishments of more than 10 employees operating in high-skill services. We also found some evidence of a negative association in low-skill services. However, the magnitude of this negative association was reduced substantially when we added an indicator of whether the workplace has a formal policy of information sharing. There was very little evidence of a negative association in manufacturing. While establishments with self-directed workgroups have lower quit rates than others, none of the bundles of work practices considered yielded a negative and statistically significant effect. We surmise that key AWPs might be more successful in reducing labour turnover in technologically complex environments than in low-skill ones.
Release date: 2003-03-17 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M1995078Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper investigates the dynamics of job reallocation in the manufacturing sector of Canada. It does so by examining the pattern and magnitude of job gain, job loss, and total job turnover due to growth and decline of some firms, and entry and exit of other firms. It also investigates how the effect of cyclical as opposed to structural influences on job turnover have changed over time. Finally, the paper investigates whether the pattern and magnitude of job turnover differ across industries and across regions, and whether the differences are either caused by differences in cyclical sensitivity of job creation and job destruction or in the extent to which restructuring is taking place.
