University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) has been recognized as one of BC’s Top Employers for the 11th consecutive year.
The award is given to employers with outstanding workplaces as part of the annual Canada’s Top Employer competition.
Jackie Hogan, UFV's vice-president of administration, says as the university celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025, the honour sets a promising precedent for the next 50 years.
“This achievement reflects our commitment to fostering a workplace where inclusivity, excellence, integrity and community truly thrive," she said.
“Thank you to all who contribute to making this achievement possible, and I look forward to continuing our journey of success together.”
The reasons given for UFV's inclusion in the 2025 list of BC’s Top Employers included:
• maintaining a professional development fund for activities such as conferences, tuition, professional memberships, resource materials and related expenses;
• offering a flexible health benefits plan that provides employees with a $1,000 health spending account that can be used to cover additional medical or dental expenses or transferred to their personal registered savings accounts;
• encouraging employees to adopt healthy lifestyles through a number of initiatives such as monthly health awareness campaigns, weight loss programs, and subsidized memberships to its fitness facilities; and
• offering employees a host of resources to take care of their mental and physical well-being.
