For the third year in a row, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) made the list of Canada's Top 100 Employers and the National Capital Region's Top 25 Employers for 2011. CSIS was also given its first award as one of the Top Employers for Canadian over 40!

CSIS is proud to have recently been recognized as one of Canada's top 100 employers, one of the National Capital Region's top 25 employers, and one of the Top Employers for Canadians over 40 in the annual competition sponsored by Mediacorp Canada Inc. Mediacorp is a specialty publisher of employment-related periodicals.

The competition identifies the companies and organizations that lead their industries in offering exceptional working conditions and progressive human resources policies.

The selection process is overseen by a blue-ribbon academic advisory board, which evaluates the organizations using the following eight criteria: physical workplace; work and social atmosphere; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development and community involvement.

The Service was selected to receive these awards for several reasons, the main ones being that CSIS:

• hires older workers and counts previous work experience toward their paid vacation allowance;
• provides parental leave top-up benefits for new fathers and adoptive parents (to 93%) for 37 weeks);
• offers excellent maternity leave top-up benefits for new mothers (to 93% for 52 weeks);
• offers relocation support services, from a guaranteed home sale program to language training for spouses; and,
• provides a defined benefit pension plan.

Whether it's a career as an intelligence officer, engineering, information technology, languages or any other department, intelligence matters at CSIS. Find a career that matters. Apply now.
