Engineers Canada has been recognized as one of the 2025 National Capital Region’s Top Employers for the eighth year in a row.
This special designation recognizes the employers in the Ottawa-Gatineau metropolitan area that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work, evaluated 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.
Engineers Canada was selected as one of the 2025 Top Employers for a number of reasons, including:
- Engineers Canada’s mental health practitioner coverage, ranging from $500 to $2,000 -- and wellness events throughout the year, including a stress-busting luncheon, chair massage, yoga, and meditation sessions
- Engineers Canada’s support of employees who want to start a family with subsidies for IVF if needed (up to $15,000) and a generous maternity and parental leave top-up program for new parents (to 95 per cent of salary, ranging from 37 to 52 weeks)
- Engineers Canada's Social and Wellness Committee organizes numerous events and activities for employees throughout the year, including meditation, tai chi, arts and crafts classes, nutrition lunch and learn sessions, employee sports teams, a spring sugar shack event, yoga on the hill, breakfast potluck, and holiday celebrations throughout the year
“At the heart of this achievement are the dedicated staff, whose collective efforts, commitment, and passion drive Engineers Canada forward,” says Nicole Proulx, Human Resources Director at Engineers Canada.
“Through their hard work, innovation, and collaboration, they create an exceptional and progressive workplace, one that fosters growth, inclusivity, and continuous improvement. Their contributions not only shape the organization’s success but also reinforce its reputation as a leader in the industry, ensuring a workplace where everyone can thrive.”
Engineers Canada joins a wide range of public, private and not-for-profit organizations named to the Top 100 list this year, including the Bank of Canada, Carleton University, Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Egg Farmers of Canada, Hydro Ottawa, Universities Canada, and a number of federal government departments and agencies.
First published in 2006, the National Capital Region's Top Employers is an annual competition organized by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers.
