Prospects over the next 3 years

The employment outlook will be moderate for Human resources professionals (NOC 11200) in Quebec for the 2023-2025 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

• Employment growth will lead to a moderate number of new positions.
• A moderate number of positions will become available due to retirements.
• There are a small number of unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation.

Prospects for this occupation may increase as companies seek to improve their efficiency. However, less favourable employment forecasts in the public sector could adversely affect this occupational group and mitigate job growth in this occupation.

Increased worker mobility, workflow and labour productivity requirements, job retention and training are creating new positions for these workers.

The continued implementation of telework with hybrid or full-time arrangements still requires remote employee recruitment and management. In addition, many private and public organizations are expanding their initiatives to support the mental health of their employees, which creates a greater need for these professionals.

The renewal of several large collective agreements in both the public and private sectors will have a positive impact on this occupational group.

The aging population is also contributing to the demand for this occupation by increasing the number of employees who need to be replaced and reducing the available pool of qualified workers.

While the employment outlook is moderate at the provincial level, it will be good or very good in nine regions.
