3. Health, financial and family benefits

4. Vacation and time off

5. Employee communications

6. Performance management

7. Training and skills development

8. Community involvement

“I am immensely proud that the TTC was recognized for this prestigious award,” said TTC CEO Andy Byford. “Our workforce is a diverse one that serves this great and diverse city. TTC employees come to work everyday knowing that, without them, this city would not function. As a public service, our vision for the TTC is to be a transit system that makes Toronto proud.”

The competition is open to any employer with its head office in the GTA; employers of any size may apply, whether in the private or public sector. More information about the award can be found at http://www.canadastop100.com/toronto/.
