For over 25 years, Umbrella has availed an industry-leading Salary Survey specifically for the child care industry in Ontario. Partnering with Sentient HR to offer the Salary Survey online in 2021, our secure, accurate, and industry-leading survey will be completed by more child care centres across Ontario.
TORONTO, Aug. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sentient HR Services Inc. ("Sentient") and Umbrella Central Day Care Services ("Umbrella") are excited to announce a partnership to deliver and compile results of the Umbrella salary survey for the child care industry. The partnership will allow Umbrella to leverage Sentient's network of child care centres, technology, and experience in the child care industry to increase participation rates for the salary survey.
Together, Umbrella and Sentient will distribute the survey to over 1,000 centres across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), as well as Durham, Peel, York, and eastern Ontario, gathering salary data to help centres and staff gauge fair and equitable remuneration.
"This valuable survey also includes statistics on staff salaries, vacation credits, sick days and benefits, such as health and dental plan coverage, and much more," said Donna Ferguson, Administrator of Umbrella.
Sentient and Umbrella have developed a secure website that will allow child care centres to participate in the salary survey.
Centres who participate will receive access to the culminated results with raw data and several valuable charts and graphs to help show salary summaries by region, qualifications, and years of experience. Centres who return a completed questionnaire will receive a complimentary copy of the results.
The survey website will open on August 12th, 2021 and remain open through September 15th, 2021. A link to the salary survey will be available through http://www.childcaresurvey.ca.
