I am proud to share that we have been recognized as a Greater Toronto Top Employer (external link) for the 14^th year in a row. Our fantastic team at Halton is dedicated to serving our residents and delivering top-notch services and infrastructure to help our community live, grow, and thrive. We are proud to prioritize collaboration, wellness and work-life balance, providing the resources our team needs to succeed in public service.

What makes us stand out as a Top Employer?

• Our generous mental health benefits – most employees and their families can access up to $5000 annually to help cover the cost of counselling and other services provided to support mental health.
• Comprehensive employee wellness program – we offer something for all fitness levels, including lunchtime sports (ball hockey, pickleball, volleyball), yoga, and access to a fitness room. We have a very active Wellness Committee that promotes tools and training and new wellness initiatives to help our staff maintain a healthy work-life balance.
• Employee recognition – we believe employee recognition should be ongoing throughout the year and regularly highlight individual and team accomplishments through internal posts, divisional and departmental meetings, and at our annual Recognition Awards Ceremony.
• Benefits for employees transitioning to retirement – we offer retirement planning seminars, different work options to transition to retirement and a stable, defined contribution pension plan. We also offer great benefits for new parents.

We are also proud of our fantastic programs that help summer students and interns gain critical on-the-job experience, with many recent graduates continuing their careers at Halton and in public service. We are posting summer student jobs on our careers webpage later this week, so I encourage you to check it out if you are looking for a great summer employment experience! Our intern postings will go up in mid-January.
