The EmployerOne 2025 Survey is now open until January 31, 2025, and we are inviting you to share your experience and help shape local workforce development. We have partnered with the Elgin Middlesex Oxford Workforce Planning and Development Board (EMOWPDB) to launch the EmployerOne 2025 Survey. We use the information to serve our community better and we know your experience should be part of that conversation! Why take the survey? • Your input contributes to a fulsome understanding of what our region is experiencing and anticipating. • Your business is valued and we want to develop regional solutions. • The survey results are used by many community partners and taking one survey is better than doing a survey for each service provider. • Sharing your experiences can connect you to resources and local supports. The survey takes 10-20 minutes to complete and is entirely confidential, only aggregate results will be shared. Thank you in advance for your participation! Take the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OXFORDE1
