The BC's Top Employers competition recognizes employers in British Columbia who are leaders in offering exceptional places to work. Employers are evaluated using the same eight criteria as the Canada's Top 100 Employers competition: (1) Physical workplace; (2) Work Atmosphere and Social; (3) Health, Financial and Family Benefits; (4) Vacation and Time Off; (5) Employee Communication; (6) Performance Management; (7) Training and Skills Development; and (8) Community Involvement.
Organized by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers, the BC's Top Employers annual competition recognizes employers with the most forward-thinking human resources practices and progressive workplace policies.
“To be recognized as a top employer when many employees work in a hybrid model, this is a testament to the collective dedication of our employees to create and foster a distinct university experience that delivers imaginative, life-enhancing learning experiences for students,” says Bharadwa. “Together, we’re supporting an experience where a healthier and happier campus community can grow.
