CIHI: One of Canada’s Top 100 Employers
Fifth annual Maclean’s list
recognizes efforts to improve employees’ work lives
October 4, 2004—The Canadian
Institute for Health Information (CIHI) is delighted to announce that
it has earned a spot in Canada’s Top 100 Employers, the annual listing
by Mediacorp Canada Inc. For five years now, this book has recognized employers
that distinguish themselves by creating a wonderful place to work. The list will
also be published in this week’s Maclean’s magazine.
To develop this year’s list, Mediacorp sent an invitation to
over 6,000 of the fastest-growing employers in Canada. Employers were asked to
complete an application process that included a detailed review of operations
and HR practices. The review focused on seven key areas:
-
Physical workplace;
-
Work and social atmosphere;
-
Health, financial and family
benefits;
-
Vacation and time off;
-
Employee communications;
-
Performance management; and
-
Training and skills development.
“Our innovative culture is what makes working here so
satisfying. Our management practices aim to be highly responsive to our staff’s
needs,” says Glenda Yeates, CIHI’s President and CEO. “Training and
professional development opportunities, as well an industry-leading benefit
package, make CIHI a good place to work and grow professionally. In 10 years,
we’ve achieved amazing growth and attracted very talented people who work
hard at taking health information further.”
The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) is an
independent, pan-Canadian, not-for-profit organization working to improve the
health of Canadians and the health care system by providing quality health
information. CIHI’s mandate, as established by Canada’s health ministers
in 1994, is to coordinate the development and maintenance of a common approach
to health information for Canada. To this end, CIHI is responsible for
providing accurate and timely information that is needed to establish sound
health policies, manage the Canadian health system effectively and create
public awareness of factors affecting good health.
