Toronto Rehab named Top GTA Employer

Toronto Rehabilitation Institute (Toronto Rehab) has been named one of Greater Toronto’s Top Employers for 2011. This designation recognizes Greater Toronto employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work.

 

As a leader in rehabilitation science and recognized employer of choice, Toronto Rehab’s success depends on attracting sought-after talent and the very best specialists in rehabilitation science – physicians, clinicians, researchers, administrative and support staff and volunteers, all of whom play a key role in helping the hospital achieve its vision of Revolutionizing Rehabilitation – Maximizing Life!

 

The heart of Toronto Rehab is its people. To support our staff in their vital work, we are committed to creating a work environment that encourages and supports them to reach their full potential. This award recognizes Toronto Rehab’s employee programs centred around Health, Financial & Family Benefits; Training & Skills Development; and the Physical Workplace. These are just some of the building blocks of Toronto Rehab’s foundation that supports our staff, enabling them to carry out our mission.

 

This award comes on the heels of two other significant achievements this year; Toronto Rehab’s fourth accreditation by Accreditation Canada and the outstanding results of our Employee Engagement Survey indicating that Toronto Rehab is a high performer in the areas of employee commitment, communication, respect and teamwork, as well as the physical environment and safety.

 

Upon receiving notice of the Top Employer award, Mark Rochon, President and CEO, acknowledged the contributions of Toronto Rehab’s dedicated staff, volunteers and students who “bring the best in rehabilitation research, knowledge and care to our patients and work with them to overcome the challenges they face as a result of their illness or injury.”

 

He also acknowledged the support of Toronto Rehab Foundation donors who “make Toronto Rehab’s research and clinical experimentation and innovation possible” to advance knowledge and practice in rehabilitation.
