“The Alberta employers chosen for this year’s list show a strong understanding of the need to come together during challenging times,” said Kristina Leung, Senior Editor at Mediacorp. “From taking care of employees’ wellness and mental health needs during the pandemic to supporting local community groups under strain, these organizations have gone the extra distance to keep people together.”

The following employers were recognized for their initiatives:

• ATCO –  donated more than $2.9-million to over 800 charities in 2020, with the company matching 100 per cent of employee donations – additionally, the company organizes annual employee-led campaigns (EPIC/Employees Participating in Communities) that hold fundraising events for charities selected by employees.
• Alberta Blue Cross – launched a program (COVID Community Roots) providing grants up to $5,000 to community-led initiatives in rural and remote areas across the province – the program helps support vulnerable populations and, in its first year, provided $195,000 to 45 projects in 38 communities.
• SAIT – encourages employees to spend more time with their families with policies that include four weeks of starting vacation allowance, additional paid days off during the winter holidays, and up to 12 paid personal days off annually.
• Rümi – increased employees’ health coverage for paramedical services by 300 per cent and implemented a paid ‘well-being day’ to ensure that employees find time for self-care – in addition, the home maintenance company organized gift deliveries of flowers, chocolates, and plants to brighten employees’ days.
