Canada’s mining and energy industries are facing a looming worker shortage caused by the pending retirement of large numbers of baby-boomer employees, the Mining Recruitment Group (MRG) said Monday.
According to the Vancouver-based executive search firm, from the top managers interviewed, only 61% indicated that they had no intentions of retiring or reducing their workloads over the next five years, which mean 39% of those in the boardrooms are planning their departure in one form or another.
