SickKids is recognized for investing in our staff through ongoing training and development and helping staff prepare for the future through retirement education sessions. Community involvement, both locally and globally through programs such as the Herbie Fund, and our commitment to creating a healthy work environment through our robust wellness program, were also noted as reasons for selection.

“We are deeply committed to maintaining a safe and healthy work environment where every staff member is inspired to achieve excellence in their work and continue to provide compassionate care to our patients and families,” says Susan O’Dowd, Vice-President, Human Resources.
