For the ninth straight year, George Brown College has been named one of Greater Toronto's Top Employers.
The Greater Toronto's Top Employers 2025 Report, published in today's Globe and Mail, celebrated employers with exceptional human resource programs and forward-thinking workplace policies. This year, George Brown was recognized for the following reasons:
- Professional development: George Brown offers a 12-month sabbatical leave program for longstanding employees, providing up to 80 per cent of their salary while they pursue professional development opportunities (this program is available for employees after six years of service).
- A culture of recognition: The annual Employee Achievement Awards are presented at the President's Awards Celebration. Award categories include leadership, teaching and learning innovation, distinguished researcher, distinguished faculty, and building connections and community, among others.
- Exceptional maternity and parental leave top-up payments: The top-up is available to employees who are new mothers (to 93 per cent of salary for 52 weeks), as well as parental top-up for fathers and adoptive parents (to 93 per cent of salary for 35 weeks).
Each year, organizations are selected for the Greater Toronto's Top Employers list based on eight criteria including physical workplace; work atmosphere; health, financial, and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and community involvement and impact.
"We are pleased that George Brown has been recognized as a top employer in the Greater Toronto Area once again this year," said Susan Bowrah, Vice-President of People and Culture. "We have built an inclusive, accountable, collaborative workplace here and it's wonderful to have our collective strengths showcased on a public platform. We're proud of what our community continues to accomplish, and we're committed to making George Brown an even better place to learn and work."
