Town of Innisfil selected as one of Canada's best places to work

Innisfil, ON – The Town of Innisfil has been selected as one of Canada’s Best Places to Work, 2022, by the publication Human Resources Director (HRD).

“We have so much to be proud of at the Town of Innisfil – exceptional people, dedicated focus on customer service and a supportive environment for our team,” says Oliver Jerschow, CAO. “The awards focused heavily on an organization’s ability and responsiveness to employee needs during the pandemic. The Town of Innisfil was chosen for this prestigious award for going above and beyond to support our team by developing strategies to retain, recruit and support our team.”

The entry process for HRD Canada’s Best Places to Work award comprised two steps: an employer submission followed by an employee survey. For the submission, organizations had to complete an in-depth submission with questions looking at key factors, such as employee engagement, turnover rates, average tenure of staff, compensation and benefits, health and wellness programs, diversity initiatives, professional development, corporate culture, flexible work options, reward and recognition, and green programs.

The survey asked employees to rate their organization across a range of metrics that constituted drivers of employee satisfaction. An employer needed to achieve an overall satisfaction rating of at least 75 per cent to be recognized as a Best Place to Work.

Some of the key factors for the Town of Innisfil receiving this prestigious award included creating a safe and trusting environment, showing appreciation for new ideas and prioritizing employee mental wellness.
