Most of the sectors have this occupation. Prospects for this occupation may improve as companies seek to increase 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, as well as job retention and training are creating new positions for these workers. 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.
