Today, BASF was recognized as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers for 2017. Mediacorp, the country’s largest publisher of employment periodicals, cited BASF Canada for offering 17 weeks parental leave top-up, employer contributions to a defined contribution pension plan, and health benefits. The panel also commended BASF for helping employees stay connected with virtual and physical resources including “eTV,” an employee television network, and internal resource groups.
“BASF is committed to fostering an inspired and engaged workforce,” said Marcelo Lu, President of BASF Canada. “We are looking for the next generation of leaders and innovators to help bring our solutions to life and join us in our journey of creating chemistry for a sustainable future.”
The editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers evaluated employers using eight criteria: physical workplace; work and social atmosphere; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and community involvement. In its study, Mediacorp included information from research it had conducted and from an application submitted by BASF Canada.
This is the third consecutive year in which Mediacorp recognizes BASF as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers. Mediacorp has also named BASF one of Greater Toronto’s Top Employers for three consecutive years.
