The 91�Թ� has been named one of Greater Toronto's Top Employers by Mediacorp Canada Inc. for the 19th consecutive year.

The competition recognizes employers with exceptional human resources programs and forward-thinking workplace policies. Winners are announced in a special magazine distributed online in The Globe & Mail.

91�Թ� was recognized for supporting the families of its employees through an array of resources, including the dedicated Family Care Office, on-site child care options and a variety of family-friendly spaces; encouraging employees to keep fit and stay healthy with subsidized memberships to fitness facilities, health benefits coverage that extends to retirees with no age limit; and encouraging employees to save for the future with generous contributions to a defined benefit pension plan.

"The world is changing so fast that employers must constantly evolve to meet their employees’ needs", said Kelly Hannah-Moffat, 91�Թ�'s vice-president, people strategy, equity and culture.

"It is both a core responsibility and a privilege to provide connection and wide-ranging supports for our world-class employees. I’d like to thank all our faculty, librarians, and staff for cultivating inclusive and responsive working and learning environments across our three campuses."

Kelly Hannah-Moffat, the 91�Թ�’s vice-president, people strategy, equity and culture, has been named a 2024 Woman of Distinction by YWCA Toronto.

The annual award celebrates extraordinary women who are working to advance gender equity across a range of areas such as business, education, social justice, advocacy, health, arts and philanthropy.

Hannah-Moffat, a professor in the Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies who is cross-appointed to the department of sociology, is a world-renowned scholar, administrator and advocate for penal reform who is playing a leading role in pushing for change in the criminal justice system, YWCA Toronto noted.

“Her work advocates for human rights and challenges oppressive practices within the justice system, especially those that harm criminalized women who are disproportionately Indigenous and Black. She has forged a path through uncharted territory since the late 1990s,” the award citation reads. “Kelly’s expertise and recommendations have been sought out for numerous legal cases and inquests investigating women’s prison conditions, solitary confinement and rights violations, impacting policies with the prison system.”

YWCA Toronto also cited Hannah-Moffat’s groundbreaking work on risk algorithms and AI’s potential to reproduce bias, structural inequalities and racial discrimination.

She and four other laureates will be celebrated at YWCA Toronto’s Women of Distinction Awards Gala in May.

"I hope learning about the YWCA Women of Distinction Award and its recipients motivates at least one more person to reflect on what they can do and what changes they can make to create opportunities for women in all areas of society," Hannah-Moffat said.

The 91�Թ� has been recognized as one of Greater Toronto’s Top Employers for the 17^th consecutive year. The award recognizes employers with exceptional human resources programs and forward-thinking workplace policies.

Editors at Mediacorp Canada evaluate employers on eight criteria: physical workplace; work atmosphere and social; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and community involvement.

The Globe and Mail has dubbed 2023's Top Employers as leaders in “shaping the post-pandemic workplace.” 91�Թ� is noted for its flexible work options, inclusive benefit plans, and generous tuition waivers and reimbursements, among other highlights.

“It is an honour to be named one of Greater Toronto's Top Employers (2023),” says Kelly Hannah-Moffat, vice-president, people strategy, equity & culture. “We strive to create a healthy work culture supported by many opportunities for ongoing professional development, competitive benefits that prioritize health and well-being, and a responsive work environment that can adapt to meet the future of work.”
