Employee Engagement and Development

In 2023, we reviewed our approach to employee engagement and culture to determine whether it continues to meet the needs of our evolving workforce. We value and foster capable leadership that can meet the challenges of business growth while contributing to a supportive and inclusive company culture. At all locations, we provide our employees with performance assessments and evaluations. Where applicable, employees also have access to coaching programs and job-specific training.

We have prioritized supporting employee engagement by implementing initiatives focused on employee recognition, career development, and well-being.

Health, Safety, and Wellness

We strive to provide and maintain a safe work environment and to promote overall wellness among employees. We prioritize employee wellbeing throughout our operations as well as through specific wellness programs. We also support mental health and wellness through our Employee Assistance Program, which offers free and confidential counseling and support for our employees and members of their households.

We promote a safe working environment by taking steps to comply with all related Occupational Safety and Health (“OSH”) Legislation, the ISO 45001 standard, and effective OSH procedures and policy implementation. We conduct health and safety programs such as Crime Prevention, Fire Prevention, and CPR Awareness to promote a healthier, safer workplace. In addition, risk assessments and periodic safety inspections performed by the QEHS team identify areas for improvement in safety and prevention in order to minimize safety-related incidents.
