ELECTRI International Workforce Survey – Canada

ECAO has been selected by ELECTRI International to assist in their ongoing research to better understand the expectations of today’s electrical construction workforce. ELECTRI is the R&D arm for the electrical contracting industry. This survey has been thoughtfully created by academic researchers and industry professionals to help capture specific knowledge of electricians at different phases of their careers. To help you get this survey to your field personnel you can share the link provided below.

“Please let your workforce know that their survey responses are completely anonymous. We ask that everyone taking the survey try to answer all the questions. If you are uncertain about a particular response, leave that answer blank. A “blank” will keep us from skewing our data and will also help us identify opportunities to refine our questions for others who take the survey in the future,” explained ECAO via their newsletter.

“We sincerely appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to help support this research. We hope this initiative will help retain and attract top talent for our contractors.”
