Carleton Named a Top Employer in National Capital Region for 12th Consecutive Year

Carleton University has once again been recognized as one of the National Capital Region’s Top Employers, now for the 12th consecutive year.
Carleton has demonstrated its dedication to creating a welcoming and forward-thinking workplace for over 2,700 full-time staff members. By emphasising wellness, professional development, and community involvement, Carleton enables its employees to excel in their careers.
“We are honoured to be acknowledged as leaders within the Ottawa community for our commitment to supporting faculty and staff through an extensive range of benefits, professional development opportunities, and wellness programs,” says Duane McNair, Vice-President (People, Finance and Operations).

Carleton University is recognised for its commitment to supporting both physical and mental well-being through initiatives such as the Healthy Workplace programme. The institution offers competitive benefits, including a comprehensive pension plan, generous vacation entitlements, and tuition waivers for employees seeking further education. Additionally, professional development opportunities — such as the Carleton Leader initiative — underscore the university’s dedication to cultivating and investing in its workforce.
This recognition is awarded as part of the National Capital Region’s Top Employers annual competition, organized by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers. It honours organizations within the Ottawa-Gatineau area that demonstrate industry leadership by providing outstanding workplaces.
