For the fourth-straight year, Niagara Health has been selected as one of Hamilton Niagara’s Top Employers by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers.
Our team is made up of more than 7,300 employees, physicians, volunteers and patient partners who contribute to our purpose of providing Extraordinary Caring. Every Person. Every Time. Our Accreditation with Exemplary Standing is a clear demonstration of the team’s commitment to the highest safety and quality standards.
One of our biggest points of pride is Niagara Health’s culture of kindness. Niagara Health’s Acts of Kindness Workplace Challenge continues to reach new heights since its launch in 2017, with 38 departments performing 40,000 acts of kindness. Each year, we celebrate inclusion and build on the momentum of other kindness initiatives including Pink Shirt Day, Pride Month and Kindness Rocks.
Other highlights of our recent success include:
- Receiving national recognition for our commitment to providing quality, safe care with 20 Leading Practices;
- Extraordinary U, an in-house leadership development program, that provides our leaders with opportunities to thrive;
- Recruiting leading healthcare professionals with nearly 800 people attending our first job fair in fall 2019.
Celebrating our team members
Recognition is an important way Niagara Health demonstrates its appreciation of our extraordinary team members and the work they do. There are a number of events held each year to acknowledge our people, such as the annual Awards of Excellence, Loyalty Recognition and Retirement Celebration, Doctors’ Day and Nursing Week.
