The list of BC’s top employers has just been released, with companies like Microsoft Vancouver, the University of British Columbia, and Telus Corporation making the cut.
The 12th annual list was organized by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers.
Employers are evaluated on their physical workplace, the work atmosphere, benefits, vacation and time off, employee communications, performance management, training and skills development, and community involvement.

According to the organzation, BC’s top employers “have made fitness and healthier lifestyle integral to their workplace.”
“Besides empowering employees to create whatever they want in terms of exercise, onsite yoga, or a biking or run club, the company provides its climbing enthusiasts with an indoor bouldering cave where they can get together over lunch to set up routes and problem-solve them,” says the release.
If your office doesn’t have an indoor climbing wall yet, you’re clearly missing out.
