Published: November 7, 2016
The University of Toronto has been honoured as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers for the tenth time.
Canada’s Top 100 Employers are chosen annually by Mediacorp Canada Inc. in a “national competition to determine which employers lead their industries in offering exceptional workplaces for their employees.”
Winners were announced on November 7, 2016 in , published by The Globe and Mail.
According to Richard Yerema, Managing Editor at Mediacorp Canada Inc., “To secure a place on a list like Canada’s Top 100 Employers an employer has to do everything well – it’s like being a hockey player who excels at both defence and offence, or an athlete who wins a triathlon.”
鶹Ƶ made the top 100 list for several reasons (see scorecard below), including:
- the university's support for families – with generous maternity and parental leave top-up payments, available to mothers, fathers and adoptive parents.
- encouraging employees to save for the future, with generous contributions to a defined benefit pension plan and offers retirement planning assistance as well as phased-in work options.
- in recognition of its historic and important role in the development of Canada's largest urban region, the university's long-term "Towards 2030 Plan" incorporates a strategy to work closely with local public, private and non-profit organizations to plan and help make the region "a better place in which to live, work and prosper".
