2025 Canada Perks and Benefits

Benefits and perks play a powerful role in the hiring market. Offering packages that include what workers want most beyond salary can tip the scales for top candidates. As the volume of available benefits and perks grows, companies must understand what competitors provide and workers value — and tailor their offerings accordingly. Benchmarking against the market can help inform employers how best to enhance their programs and stand out in a competitive hiring environment.
