Launched in 2012 in the London Economic Region, the EmployerOne survey brought together partners across the region to simply data collection from local employers. The results have been used to help develop local actions and inform community partners. The survey inspired other communities to launch their own EmployerOne Survey

The EmployerOne survey can be filled by any employer in the London Economic Region from any sector. This includes Elgin, Oxford, and Middlesex Counties and the cities of St. Thomas, and London. Employers of all sizes from the range of goods producing and service sectors are encouraged to participate. Collecting a variety of employer experiences helps build a better understanding of what is happening in the region.

The questions are centered around local workforce. Employers share their experiences from the previous twelve months related to hiring and recruiting, the skills of their workforce, training provided, as well and separations and retention of workers. The survey ends with questions about the coming twelve months and anticipated challenges. Survey participants can opt-in to receiving reources and supports in the months after the survey is closed. However, the information provides is confidential and specific respoces are never connected.
