National Capital Region's Top Employers 2013

Our Department has been named one of the 2013 top employers in the National Capital Region.

Now entering its eighth year, the National Capital Region's Top Employers is an annual competition organized by the editors of the Canada-wide Top 100 Employers competition. This special designation for the National Capital Region recognizes the Ottawa-area employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work.

National Capital Region employers are evaluated using eight criteria: work atmosphere & social; health, financial & family benefits; vacation & time off; employee communications; performance management; training & skills development; community involvement and physical workplace. Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offers the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.
