Toronto, ON - The Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) is pleased to announce that it is being recognized as one of this year’s Best Workplaces in Canada.
“The OHA prides itself in creating a trusting work environment where our employees and their input is valued. It is very gratifying to be named one of the Best Workplaces in Canada and know that the hard work and dedication of everyone at the OHA has been noticed,” said OHA President and CEO Tom Closson.
The list of Best Workplaces in Canada is compiled by the Great Place to Work® Institute, Canada and includes only 100 organizations, with the OHA placing 20th best. The competition process is based on a survey open to all employees, along with their open-ended comments about their organization and an in-depth review of the organization’s culture, including an evaluation of HR policies and procedures. This offers a rigorous representation of the organization from an employee perspective, and an overall portrait of the workplace culture. Together, they provide crucial data relative to the five trust-building dimensions of a Great Place to Work®: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie. Over 230 organizations participated in this year’s national competition
The OHA was also recognized last year as One of Greater Toronto’s Top Employers and as a Top Place Where Employees Thrive.
