Our virtual neighbourhood includes a vibrant intranet site and regular bi-weekly meetings with our Registrar/CEO and other senior leaders on Zoom. We use Microsoft Teams to keep in touch with our team members throughout the day and encourage colleagues to have regular coffee chats with each other to stay connected.

Our fully accessible building is located directly across from Rosedale subway station. Many of our staff may take public transit to work, and travel from all over the general Toronto area. Rosedale subway station is undergoing renovations and will also be fully accessible in 2024.

Work environment

A little down time can help strengthen working relationships. We have a great engagement committee that organizes various in-person and virtual events throughout the year, where staff get a chance to relax and get to know one another. It is also a great opportunity for new staff to meet the team and people from other departments. We also hold in-person town hall meetings once a year. 

Our team members also have the opportunity to participate in important working groups on topics like equity, diversity and inclusion, joint occupational health and safety, service standards, and peer-to-peer support.

Work/Life Balance

In the summer (July 1^st to September 1^st), staff enjoy five-hour workdays every Friday. 

To allow our staff some flexibility in their work day, we also offer alternative work arrangements, including compressed work weeks, flexible work hours and reduced hours work weeks. 

We believe evenings and weekends are meant to allow you to focus on your life outside of work, so we encourage leaders and staff to disconnect outside of scheduled hours.
