Carleton Named a Top Employer for Canadians Over 40

Carleton has received a second honour from the Canada’s Top 100 Employers competition. Today, Carleton was named a Top Employer for Canadians over 40, further recognition of its commitment to fostering an inclusive and welcoming work environment.

In November, Carleton was recognized as a Top 100 Employer in Canada for the first time and one of only four post-secondary institutions to receive this award. While there is a single application for the national competition, employers are also considered for 18 regional and special-interest competitions, including: Top Family-Friendly Employer, National Capital Region’s Top Employer and Canada’s Greenest Employer.

Canada’s Top 100 Employers is an annual national competition that determines which employers lead their industries in offering exceptional workplaces. Comparable organizations are reviewed and evaluated to establish which offers the most progressive and forward-thinking programs. They are assessed using eight criteria: physical workspace; work atmosphere and social; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employer communications; performance management; and training and skills development. Carleton excels in all these areas.
