Join TAP Network for an inside look at the 2026 Canadian Talent Benchmarking Study – and what it means for today’s People & Culture leaders.

In a market shaped by capital discipline, AI disruption, and pressure to prove ROI on every people investment, People & Culture leaders are being asked to speak a new language: financial impact. 

Drawing on benchmark data from 84 Canadian enterprise technology companies, this session introduces a practical new framework: Employee Lifetime Value (eLTV).

Adapted from Customer Lifetime Value, eLTV measures the net financial value an employee generates over their tenure by integrating revenue per FTE, employee cost, tenure, ramp-up time, and retention.

In this session we’ll unpack five of the study’s most important findings, including: 

  • Why talent density outperforms headcount scale 
  • How dropping below 80% retention creates a significant financial drag
  • Why engagement can drive a 6X financial multiplier.  

You’ll leave with a clearer, more credible way to connect talent strategy to financial performance—and a practical lens for making smarter workforce decisions.
