Here are some of the reasons why Health Association Nova Scotia was selected as one of Atlantic Canada's Top Employers (2024) and Nova Scotia's Top Employers (2024):

• Health Association Nova Scotia supports the long-term welfare of employees with generous contributions to a defined benefit pension plan and retirement planning assistance -- additionally, the organization offers phased-in work options for those nearing retirement, allowing employees to gradually reduce their hours
• Health Association Nova Scotia's time-off policies enable employees to rest, recharge, and balance personal and professional commitments -- examples include four weeks of starting vacation allowance, 40 hours of family sick leave per year (which can be used to care for an ill family member or to attend appointments), and paid sick time of up to 18 days annually
• Health Association Nova Scotia provides maternity and parental leave top-up payments for new and adoptive parents (to 93 per cent of salary for 15 weeks) and offers academic scholarships for parents with older children, to $2,500 per child per year for those pursuing post-secondary studies
