For the fifth consecutive year, TAQA NORTH has been named one of Alberta's Top 50 Employers in the annual Alberta's Top Employers competition organized by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers.
This special designation recognizes the Alberta employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work. The research is conducted by the Human Resources Institute of Alberta and the results are released by Alberta’s two largest newspapers; the Calgary Herald and the Edmonton Journal.
Employers are evaluated by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers using the same eight criteria as the national competition: (1) Physical Workplace; (2) Work Atmosphere & Social; (3) Health, Financial & Family Benefits; (4) Vacation & Time Off; (5) Employee Communications; (6) Performance Management; (7) Training & Skills Development; and (8) Community Involvement. Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offers the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.
"We are proud to be recognized as a leading employer in the province and as a great place to work and grow. There are many reasons to make TAQA NORTH one’s career destination. Being recognized as a top employer in Alberta implies that TAQA NORTH provides a compelling value proposition to its employees, beyond compensation. It’s an award that the entire TAQA family can be proud of," stated Frederic Lesage, TAQA NORTH Managing Director.
TAQA NORTH was named a top 50 employer based on many points of interest, including its vacation and flex-day policy, its community investment and scholarship programs, and its innovative open office space environment.
"We are honored to once again be selected to this distinguished list of top employers in Alberta", says David Johnson, Vice President, Human Resources for TAQA NORTH. "Indeed, we have been very diligent over the last several years building an enterprise which offers challenging and meaningful career opportunities supported with innovative employee benefits programs. This has enhanced our corporate branding and recruiting efforts which has helped to attract and retain our high quality workforce."
