Employment trends: which occupations will be most in demand in 2022?

The year 2021 is coming to an end with the feeling that the exceptional parenthesis linked to Covid-19 is gradually closing. Already, in September, Canada was back to its pre-pandemic employment level, with a few nuances.

In the specialised press, the retrospectives of the past year are multiplying and alongside the first studies on the trends of 2022. With this in mind, we have compiled a list of the most in-demand occupations now, which will undoubtedly define employment trends in the first quarter of the coming year.

These 5 jobs will be part of the trends in 2022*:

  • Customer Service (over 35,000 vacancies across Canada). The secondary effects of the pandemic on the economy are felt in customer service, which saw a significant increase in demand during the year.
  • Cleaners and Maintenance Workers (over 11,000 vacancies across Canada). Sustainable sanitation measures have obviously had a strong impact on the number of employees needed to maintain, clean, and sanitize premises and tools. Whether in retail stores, warehouses, factories or hospitals, cleaning crews are essential to the safety of customers and workers alike.
  • Warehouse Workers (over 10,000 offers in Canada). As we know, the exponential growth of online trade is a side effect of the pandemic's health measures. This has a direct impact on employment in the supply chain: order pickers, forklift operators and drivers are all in demand.
  • Registered Nurses (almost 9,000 offers in Canada). The need for health care workers is great in all provinces and the recent crisis has been a particular indicator of this. Registered nurses are among the top three most sought-after jobs in every province in the country.
  • IT Support and Help Desk (nearly 7,000 offers in Canada). The gradual return of workers to the office will probably not change much: widespread remote work during the pandemic caused an earthquake in IT support and help desk positions. Whether it's a job in IT support, or in developing applications that support teleworking, these jobs will still be in demand at the start of the year.

A function in the spotlight 
 

Did you know that PRIM Logix also saves your invoicing department time? 
Claudine is responsible for invoicing at a temporary staffing agency. She appreciates a job well done and her files in order. She also knows that the clients of her agency like their invoices to be clear, transparent and, above all, to correspond to their expectations. 

But how do you reconcile the expectations of all your clients without wasting Claudine's time?
 
By taking advantage of the customisation of invoicing templates per client in PRIM Logix!

For each client, Claudine can indicate whether the invoicing model should be per applicant, per request, per purchase order, and many other options are available. 
In this way, each client of the staffing agency receives an invoice that corresponds to their preferences. And Claudine saves time and can concentrate on her other tasks with peace of mind.

To define customised invoicing templates, go to the "Settings - Invoicing" tab of a client file.

Back to the office: what about the "Christmas parties"?
Last year the usual end-of-year festivities in companies were disrupted by the return of the lock-in. But with employees gradually returning to the office, will this mean that Christmas parties as we know them will return?

From Christmas markets to Christmas elves: the holiday season is upon us... and timeless!

  
One of the most heated debates in the office is the one that comes up every year: when is it "right" to put up your Christmas decorations?
It's probably because the holiday season brings us warmth and comfort - just as the days get shorter and the temperatures drop - that its traditions remain among the most popular.

But what are these traditions? 
Christmas markets, probably the oldest tradition, which comes from Germany and has made the reputation of many Alsatian villages since the 14th century?
Advent calendars? They too appeared in Germany in the 19th century and today come in all shapes and sizes: from chocolate to teas and beers. 

In recent years, these two examples have been joined by a very Quebecois tradition: the Christmas elves. What was originally a simple initiative of a grandfather to entertain his grandchildren in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean has grown to the point where it has already crossed the ocean and is now part of age-old traditions.

A fine example of what the Belle Province can bring to the Old Continent!
