What makes us stronger, together

March 2, 2021

It's all about our people. The people who we serve and the people that work for us and with us. We are nothing without our people. Together, we are stronger. Their innovation, dedication, compassion, and commitment to serving our communities are what makes us a Top 100 BC Employer.

To be acknowledged as a 2021 BC Top Employer is an absolute honour. It's really a reflection of our incredible staff who works together as a team to provide the best service possible to our communities across the southern Interior of British Columbia.

 

It's humbling to accept this award, especially amidst the challenging past year working through a pandemic. We were all hit hard, especially in health care. It was with the dedication from our 21,000+ employees that we're able to continue to deliver safe and essential health care services that our communities require daily.

Thank you to our team of health care heroes for their service and dedication throughout the pandemic; we are stronger together.

In the article, Interior Health goes for a workplace 'perfect mix', they outlined a few reasons why Interior Health was selected as a BC Top Employer for 2021:

  • Interior Health Authority maintains a variety of policies to enable employees to take time for themselves, offering a minimum of four weeks of starting vacation allowance for most employees, up to 18 paid sick days annually, and flexible work options where possible
  • Interior Health Authority helps employees prepare for life after work with retirement planning assistance and generous contributions to a defined benefit pension plan
  • Interior Health Authority recognizes exceptional employee performance through internal awards in a variety of categories including long service, BC Health Care Hero Awards, and quality improvement awards for those who contribute to improving the quality of care provided to patients and families


 

“I am so proud of each and every person who works at Interior Health. Together, we share a commitment to our communities that is reflected in the dedication, compassion, and innovation our teams bring to the health system.”

Susan Brown, President & CEO
