Here are some of the reasons why Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions of Canada was selected as one of National Capital Region's Top Employers (2024):
- OSFI launched "The Superintendent Coins", serving as its own unique on-the-spot recognition for employees who have demonstrated exceptional performance -- and hosts a Wall of Appreciation on its intranet, highlighting employee achievements and contributions
- OSFI focuses on the longer term welfare of its employees with a health benefits plan that extends to retirees (with 50 per cent premium coverage and no age limit) and offers further peace of mind through a defined benefit pension plan
- OSFI offers excellent family-friendly benefits, providing new mothers with maternity and parental leave top-up payments (to 93 per cent of salary for a full year) and parental top-up for fathers and adoptive parents (to 93 per cent of salary for up to 37 weeks)
