nterior Health has been named one of BC’s Top Employers for 2013! This special designation recognizes the British
Columbia employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work.
“I am thrilled that Interior Health has been recognized as a Top Employer in B.C.” says John Johnston, Vice
President, People and Clinical Services.
“This acknowledgement tells the rest of B.C. and the country what we already know: IH is one of the best places to
work in the province. I hope all our staff are proud of this and realize it is their dedication and professionalism that
made this possible.”
To be announced on February 8, 2013 in a special feature in the Vancouver Sun, the BC’s Top Employers annual
competition considers a variety of criteria like recruitment and retention, as well as high employment standards and
performance in several areas, including: 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.
“I would also like to acknowledge the work of
Vincent Yew, Human Resources Business Partner
and Sherri Lampman, Administrative Assistant for
their work in pulling our application together,” says
John.
Interior Health has been selected from hundreds of
other organizations. Take a look at the reasons why
