What this means

In Canada, average job tenure in finance, insurance, real estate, rental and leasing was 105.8 months in 2025, according to Statistics Canada. That figure describes the whole working population in the sector, not how well any single employer holds onto its people, so it works as background rather than a scorecard. Read it next to your own tenure distribution and exit interview data to see where your workforce actually differs. Because SHRM puts the cost of replacing an employee at 50% to 200% of their annual salary depending on level, even small gaps between your numbers and the population picture are worth understanding.
