CSIS, an exceptional place to work

CSIS makes the list of Canada’s Top 100 Employers and the National Capital Region’s Top 25 Employers for 2010

Canada’s Top 100 Employers and the National Capital Region’s Top 25 Employers for 2010

For the second year in a row, CSIS made the list of Canada’s Top 100 Employers and the National Capital Region’s Top 25 Employers for 2010.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) is proud to have recently been recognized as one of Canada’s top 100 employers and one of the National Capital Region’s top 25 employers in the annual competition sponsored by Mediacorp Canada Inc., 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 as one of top 100 employers 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);
  • initiated a recruiting initiative to hire more new employees from various ethnic communities with success — over 50% of the new intelligence officers hired in 2007 were multilingual;
  • offers relocation support services, from a guaranteed home sale program to language training for spouses; and,
  • provides a defined benefit pension plan.
