I am very grateful to our employees for their efforts and their commitment to our institution’s mission.”</p> <p>Managed by Mediacorp Canada Inc., the nation’s largest publisher of employment periodicals, the competition grades employers on criteria that range from health, financial and family benefits to training, skills development&nbsp;and community involvement.</p> <p>Some of the reasons for 91Թ’s selection in the 2020 competition&nbsp;include its support to families through generous parental leave provisions and multiple on-site daycare options, the new True Blue platform for peer-to-peer employee recognition, contributions to employees’ defined benefit pension plan, the institution’s commitment to equity, diversity and&nbsp;inclusion, and health benefits coverage that extends to retirees.</p> <p>91Թ&nbsp;is also building an intentionally inclusive work environment, investing in its diverse community and providing development opportunities to ensure all its members succeed. Each year, the&nbsp;Human Resources &amp; Equity division strengthens supports for employees and prospective applicants, including the recent development of a set of hiring guidelines to ensure practical equity, diversity and inclusion questions are embedded in all recruitment processes.</p> <p>In 2019, the&nbsp;<a href="https://ulearn.utoronto.ca/">Centre for Learning, Leadership &amp; Culture</a>&nbsp;was created to develop the university’s employees, via professional development tools and training, to transform the ways in which the 91Թ community perceives and engages with learning, leadership and culture. In addition to the centre, a new talent management unit was introduced to leverage the university’s excellence for the strategic recruitment of faculty, staff and librarians, create pipelines for hard-to-fill-positions&nbsp;and build talent pools of diverse and qualified candidates. The talent management unit ensures best practices inform the development and implementation of inclusive and evidence-based approaches to talent management across all three campuses.</p> <p>“These competition results continue to underscore the 91Թ’s position as an employer of choice,” said <strong>Erin Jackson</strong>, 91Թ’s chief human resources officer. “We place a high priority on delivering innovative and equitable employment practices that attract, recognize and retain the talented individuals who make 91Թ the best university in Canada.”</p> <p>91Թ employs more than 20,000 appointed and casual faculty and staff across its three campuses in the Greater Toronto Area.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-home-page-banner field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">News home page banner</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Fri, 22 Nov 2019 13:49:47 +0000 Christopher.Sorensen 160862 at 91Թ one of Canada's top 100 employers /news/u-t-one-canada-s-top-100-employers <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">91Թ one of Canada's top 100 employers</span> <div class="field field--name-field-featured-picture field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="eager" srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/news_banner_370/public/top100.jpg?h=afdc3185&amp;itok=vslSlUAU 370w, /sites/default/files/styles/news_banner_740/public/top100.jpg?h=afdc3185&amp;itok=-9DzFa2R 740w, /sites/default/files/styles/news_banner_1110/public/top100.jpg?h=afdc3185&amp;itok=nrDkTvMn 1110w" sizes="(min-width:1200px) 1110px, (max-width: 1199px) 80vw, (max-width: 767px) 90vw, (max-width: 575px) 95vw" width="740" height="494" src="/sites/default/files/styles/news_banner_370/public/top100.jpg?h=afdc3185&amp;itok=vslSlUAU" alt="Fiona Rawle (centre) with students walking outside"> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>lavende4</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2016-11-07T11:42:54-05:00" title="Monday, November 7, 2016 - 11:42" class="datetime">Mon, 11/07/2016 - 11:42</time> </span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-cutline-long field--type-text-long field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Cutline</div> <div class="field__item">Fiona Rawle (centre), associate professor, teaching stream, introduced walking office hours to her classes (photo by Blake Eligh)</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-author-reporters field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/authors-reporters/melanie-grant" hreflang="en">Melanie Grant</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-author-legacy field--type-string field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Author legacy</div> <div class="field__item">Melanie Grant</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-topic field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Topic</div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/topics/our-community" hreflang="en">Our Community</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-story-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/u-t" hreflang="en">91Թ</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/top-100-employers" hreflang="en">Top 100 Employers</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news/tags/human-resources-equity" hreflang="en">Human Resources &amp;
