Organization receives accolades for its supportive environment to staff, competitive compensation and opportunities for growth 

February 7, 2023 (Ottawa, ON) – CHEO is again being recognized as one of the best places to work – not just in Ottawa, but in all of Canadian health care.  

This week, Canada’s Top 100 Employers named CHEO as a Top Employer in the National Capital Region for the 12th year in a row. Three years into a global pandemic, CHEO staff, medical staff and learners pulled together to respond to an extremely challenging viral season at the end of 2022. It is against this backdrop that CHEO receives accolades for its supportive environment, competitive compensation, and opportunities for career growth. 

In addition, Forbes Magazine has named CHEO among Canada’s Best Employers in 2023. The Forbes Best Employers in Canada is prestigious, employee-led recognition based on survey data compiled by Statista. Some 12,000 participants at organizations of more than 500 employees were asked to assess aspects of their employer, such as working conditions and potential for growth. CHEO was the number one pediatric health-care organization to work for in Canada, number one hospital in Ontario and in the top three of all the country’s health employers.   

“CHEO is well-known for being a special place for children, youth and their families. And we work really hard to make it equally special for our staff, medical staff, learners and their families as well” says Alex, Munter, CHEO’s President and CEO. “We are humbled by these designations and grateful to our staff for their continued dedication, passion and can-do spirit – which is part of CHEO’s secret sauce.” 

CHEO’s latest National Capital Region’s Top Employers award can be found here. Of the 50 workplaces recognized as a top employer in the National Capital Region this year, CHEO is one of only four health-care organizations to make the list. Details on the Canada's Best Employers 2023 by Forbes can be found here.
