February 17, 2022 (Ottawa, ON) ––  Want to get recognized for your outstanding work? Come join Team CHEO -- we have 300 career opportunities available right now. And we’ve just been named a 5-star reward and recognition employer in 2022 by Canadian HR Reporter.

The award recognizes the best HR teams with reward and recognition initiatives – from giving employee feedback efficiently, to nurturing future industry leaders, to creating a positive workplace culture – that set them apart from the competition.

CHEO has numerous rewards and recognition programs that highlight and celebrate our community of 4,500 staff, medical staff, researchers, learners and volunteers — and their dedication to provide the best life for every child and youth we care for.  From large scale events to small but equally meaningful tokens, we celebrate our team in numerous ways. Some of these include:

  • Our annual Shining Star peer recognition program and evening gala which recognizes employees, medical staff and volunteers who have achieved various increments of service from 5 to 40 along with those celebrating retirement.
  • SHEO day is celebrated on March 8, International Women’s Day, by featuring some of the women at CHEO who inspire others and make a difference in the lives of our kids and families. 
  • CHEO’s Good Catch award celebrate staff, medical staff, learners and volunteers whose actions avert possible harm.  Recipients are celebrated at various leadership reunions.

CHEO offers a supportive environment for staff and their families, including competitive salaries, and maternity and paternity leave top-up payments.  In the last two years, CHEO has adapted to meet the changing and evolving needs of our team, brought on by the pandemic. For example, we have offered work-from-home options, free parking, vaccination clinics for staff and their family members, and drive-up COVID-19 testing to name a few.

“Team CHEO has been working non-stop during this relentless pandemic and the enormous challenges it keeps throwing at us.  It’s so very important to let each and every one of our staff, medical staff, learners and volunteers know that what they do matters and makes a real difference in the lives of the patients and families they care for,” said Alex Munter, CHEO’s President and CEO. “We strive to continuously celebrate and recognize their amazing work.”

In past years, CHEO has been recognized as Canada’s #1 health-care employer by Forbes Canada Best Employers.  CHEO has also been named among the top pediatric hospitals in the world by Newsweek, been one of Canada’s 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures and recognized by Canada’s Healthy Workplace Month, among many other accolades for our medical and research professionals. The 2020 Faces Magazine recognized Alex Munter as a favourite CEO of the year.
