HR Metrics Quarterly: Q1 2026
In this research, we provide access to human resources benchmarking data compiled from a total of 140 organizations, representing 587,563 employees, for the first quarter of 2026 (January to March).
What is the turnover rate gap between unionized and non-unionized employees, and how do these levels compare with previous periods? Has movement occurred in the retirement rate, and what might this indicate? How do absenteeism rates differ across industries, and which sectors saw the steepest year-over-year drop in job vacancy rates?
