BC's top employers have been revealed and many are hiring with great perks
Are you job hunting in BC and need ideas of where to send your resume? BC’s Top Employers has just released its list of best places to work for 2025, and many are hiring for positions with great benefits.
Mediacorp Canada Inc. revealed the 20th annual list of “exceptional workplaces that respond to what their employees value most,” on Tuesday.
“British Columbia has always been one of the most progressive regions in the country in terms of benefits, flexibility and forward-thinking environmental policies — and this year’s winners are no exception,” says Richard Yerema, executive editor of Canada’s Top 100 Employers project, in a release.
“The province is home to many fearless, progressive organizations that are not afraid to push the boundaries and stand out from the crowd in a way that attracts new employees from across BC and throughout Canada.”

BC companies are reviewed on eight criteria to see if they qualify for the list, including:
- Workplace
- Work Atmosphere & Social
- Health, Financial & Family Benefits
- Vacation & Time Off
- Employee Communications
- Performance Management
- Training & Skills Development
- Community Involvement
“This year’s list also includes 19 employers that have less than 100 full-time employees,” added Kristina Leung, managing editor of the annual Canada’s Top 100 Employers project, in a statement. “It sends an important message to other BC organizations that you don’t need to be a large employer to create first-class workplaces that also protect our shared environment.
“Often, it’s an advantage to be smaller because these employers quickly recognize the positive effects of such policies both on their employees and in the community.”
So, if you’re looking for a new job with amazing benefits, one of the winning employers on this list might be perfect for you.
We took a look at five companies that are hiring right now.

BCAA is hiring for over 30 positions, with several based in Burnaby and around BC. It was named to the BC Top Employer’s list for developing a formal Workplace of the Future plan that includes a hybrid work option letting team members work remotely from locations within Canada for up to two weeks.
