Interior Health once again named a top place to work in B.C.

Interior Health (IH) has once again been named a BC Top Employer. We are proud, honoured and humbled to be recognized this year, the 10th time IH has received the award.

Now in its 20th year, BC's Top Employers is an annual competition organized by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers. This special designation recognizes the British Columbia employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work. 

“We’re deeply focused on what teams want, and the type of envi­ronment that makes you jump out of bed in the morning and want to go to work,” says president & CEO Susan Brown. “The key emphasis is on understanding employees as individuals, creating a supportive workplace, prioritizing wellness, and engaging with staff and the broader community in a compas­sionate manner.”

Creating a compassionate culture at IH

We're dedicated to providing the highest quality health care to the people in the 59 municipalities and 54 First Nations communities we serve. For more than 20 years, we've been passionately working and partnering for the health and well-being of everyone in the B C. Interior.

We’re committed to fostering diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) across every facet of Interior Health. From our dedicated staff to the high-quality care we provide, we prioritize these principles in all that we do.

“We've taken a lot of effort and time to really invest in our DEI framework,” says Brown. “Interior Health provides services on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of 54 First Nations com­munities, the largest population in B.C., so we have worked hard with partners there to provide opportu­nity so that we can truly represent the population we’re serving as an employer.”

We offer career development opportunities for those aspiring to advance their careers into leadership roles, and continuously innovate with educational initiatives for students and new graduates.

These three pillars have been instrumental in our recognition as a BC Top Employer.

At the heart of Interior Health is a dedication to enabling our teams to feel supported, valued and empowered to succeed. We believe that when our teams thrive, our communities benefit.

“Our strategy is centered around a people-focused approach,” says Tania Legal, retention manager for Interior Health. “One of our top priorities is listening to understand what matters most to our employees. We engage with our staff regularly, gathering their feedback to shape our work plans and develop initiatives that resonate with and address their needs.”
