U of T named one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers for 2022

The University of Toronto has once again been named one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers, a designation that represents a national benchmark for workplace best-practices.

Employers are scored on eight criteria: physical workplace; work atmosphere and communications; financial benefits & compensation; health and family-friendly benefits; vacation and personal time-off; employee engagement & performance; training and skills development; and community involvement. The 2022 results were published in The Globe and Mail on Nov. 12, 2021.

Among the reasons U of T was selected for the award are generous health and family benefits that extend to retirees, contributions to employees’ defined benefit pension plan, and the university’s actions to enact sustainable, systemic change with regards to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Also recognized was the university’s extraordinary response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The past year has seen radical changes to the world of work,” says Kelly Hannah-Moffat, vice-president, people strategy, equity & culture. “The pandemic has required a great deal of determination and innovation from all of our faculty, librarians, and staff to maintain our steadfast commitment to excellence. Being recognized as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers for 2022 is a meaningful acknowledgement of that ongoing work.”

U of T has more than 20,000 faculty, librarians and staff working across its three campuses.
