The University of Toronto has once again been recognized as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers. This is 11th time that U of T has made the list.
In its 19th year, the national awards program highlights employers that offer “exceptional workplaces for their employees”. Winners were announced earlier today in Canada’s Top 100 online magazine, published by the Globe and Mail.

“The best employers recognize that they need to innovate thoughtfully to keep moving forward,” says Richard Yerema, Managing Editor of Canada’s Top 100 Employers project. “But the challenge is to evolve with changes in technology and employee expectations while maintaining the goal of creating better workplaces that align the needs of their business with those of their employees.”
Among the reasons cited for U of T’s award include financial benefits, compensation and health and family-friendly benefits such as the Family Care Office and its offerings for faculty and staff.
