Niagara College has been named a Hamilton-Niagara Region top employer for 2023.
Now in its 16th year, the Hamilton-Niagara’s Top Employers competition recognizes and celebrates employers in the Hamilton-Niagara area of Ontario that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work.
“Niagara College’s recognition as a top employer is a testament to the excellence of faculty, staff and administrators who continuously support student success and prioritize the student experience in all that they do,” said Sean Kennedy, President, Niagara College. “Together we have created an inclusive, welcoming and student-focused workplace culture that supports employee growth and encourages organizational development.”
Recipients of the Hamilton-Niagara Top Employer designation were evaluated on eight criteria consisting of: 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.
Organizers of the Hamilton-Niagara Top Employers awards shared some of the reasons that Niagara College was awarded the designation: the College provides exceptional maternity and parental leave salary top-up benefits, retirement planning assistance and generous contributions to a defined benefit pension, and a longstanding history of celebrating employee success through the annual Awards of Excellence, recognizing the exemplary work of employees.
Niagara College’s recognition as a top employer comes at a time of record hiring of faculty, staff, administrators, and counsellors and student support staff to position the College for growth as it plays a key role in the period of economic recovery in the Niagara region. Current full- and part-time openings include entry-level to senior management positions in academic schools, Human Resources, Facilities Management Services, ncLibraries, Health, Wellness and Accessibility Services, Indigenous Education, and Research.
“As one of the largest and leading employers in the Niagara Region, Niagara College takes great pride in receiving this designation,” said Kennedy. “Our employees contribute to a highly engaged workplace where they are inspired to do their best work in support of our students, and we look forward to welcoming new team members to our college community as we continue our period of historic growth.”
