Canada’s Top 100 Employers for 2011

Capital Health has been named one of Canada’s Top 100 employers for the second year in a row.

Capital Health was selected out of 2,700 employers across Canada by Mediacorp Canada Inc., a specialty publisher of employment guides and the creator of the job search site, Eluta.ca.

"It is the talented people of Capital Health who make the organization a better and better place to work and an employer of choice across the country", said Kathy MacNeil, Vice President, People.

“Each week, I see more examples of people here – physicians, employees, volunteers and learners – being the change we need in health care,” MacNeil said. “I see and hear of people deeply caring for others, doing what’s right and exploring new ideas with a greater courage than ever before.”

Strong partnerships with labour groups, educational institutions and others enable Capital Health to succeed. The organization enjoys relationships with the Nova Scotia Government & General Employees Union, the Nova Scotia Nurses’ Union, Dalhousie University, the Nova Scotia Community College and others.

Mediacorp gave Capital Health high marks for its work atmosphere and communications, health and family-friendly benefits, vacation and personal time off, and community involvement. See more information about the grading at: http://bit.ly/top100CH.
