UBC has been recognized as one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People in 2018, the only post-secondary institution to receive this designation. This special designation recognizes the employers that offer the nation’s best workplaces and programs for young people starting their careers.
This is the sixth consecutive year that UBC has received this award. Some of the services that UBC offers to support young employees:
Young employees and employees who are new to the workplace can take part in many UBC programs and initiatives to help welcome them to the community and grow in their careers.
UBC employees can access career navigation services, professional development funding and tuition waivers. As part of the university community, faculty and staff are encouraged to take part in workplace wellbeing initiatives, and access the athletics and recreation facilities at our Vancouver and Okanagan campuses as well as UBC’s many attractions.

The Workplace Experiences Survey is the one opportunity that all faculty and staff have to directly share feedback on their experience of UBC as a workplace. The survey findings are used to better understand faculty and staff experiences, needs, and priorities, and to help shape strategic planning and initiatives at both UBC-wide and at the unit level.
The survey is now closed. If you have a paper survey, please insert your completed survey into the postage-paid envelope included in the survey package and drop it immediately into any Canada Post mailbox to be returned to TalentMap.
