Since 2006, UBC has been recognized as one of the province’s Top Employers. Factors such as workforce diversity, culture, total compensation, and community involvement all played a part in receiving this designation.
In 2012, UBC was recognized as one of the organizations that lead the nation in creating diverse and inclusive workplaces, and for our exemplary workplace initiatives – such as our Positive Space campaign – among a range of diversity groups.
BC’s Ministry of Children and Family Development recognized UBC Okanagan with this award, which highlights a commitment to work and life balance within an organization. UBC encourages work-life balance through policies, programs and services such as flexible work schedules, childcare support, counseling services for faculty, staff, and their family members, and professional development opportunities.
