Forbes 2024 Canada's Best Employers logoJan. 25, 2024 (Ottawa, ON) – CHEO has been recognized as Canada’s second-best employer and the top employer in Canadian health care among Forbes’ annual Best Employers in Canada. The 2024 list of Canada’s top employers listed CHEO behind only chocolate maker Hershey, but it’s sweet news as CHEO has been identified as the top health-care employer, top hospital and top pediatric health-care organization. 

“This is a silver medal worth celebrating because it belongs to every staff, medical staff, learner and volunteer here at CHEO. Thank you everyone for bringing heart, skill and dedication to the work you do for kids and their families,” says Alex Munter, CHEO President and CEO.  

“It's a time to celebrate CHEO’s 50th anniversary and I want to recognize our staff, medical staff and learners,” adds Dr. Lindy Samson, CHEO’s Chief of Staff and Chief Medical Officer. “We are so proud of our staff and are constantly inspired by how they care about our patients, their passion and their can-do spirit which is part of CHEO’s secret sauce.” 

2024 is a time of significant growth at CHEO, which includes the construction of a new integrated health centre, 1Door4Care. CHEO is also hiring and you can check the website for the latest openings. 

This is not the first time that Forbes Magazine has recognized CHEO as one of Canada’s Best Employers. The Forbes Best Employers in Canada is a prestigious, employee-led recognition based on survey data compiled by Statista. Some 40,000 participants at organizations of more than 500 employees were asked to assess aspects of their employer, such as working conditions and potential for growth. 

Details on the Canada's Best Employers 2024 by Forbes can be found here.
