  • Get the support you need, when you need it with our Group Benefits Plan
  • Access counselling, coaching and other support during challenging times with the Employee and Family Assistance Program

The Employee Health and Wellness Program at Surrey Place includes a variety of resources and initiatives aimed at promoting physical and mental health well-being. These include an online portal with a variety of resources including webinars, (live and recorded), a monthly wellness newsletter, access to recorded fitness videos, and resources on a variety of topics. At the team level, we have a team of wellness ambassadors to help promote and engage staff on their wellness journey.

Surrey Place offers a comprehensive and competitive benefits plan for permanent employees working more than 14 hours per week and their eligible dependents. Extended healthcare insurance offers coverage for prescription drugs, vision care, paramedical and other medical expenses. Dental coverage, life insurance and long-term disability are also included in our benefits package.

As part of our benefits plan, Surrey Place staff have access to a full-service Employee and Family Assistance Program.

Mental health, and counselling services are available by phone, video or in person.

Financial Well-being

  • Feel valued for your work with competitive compensation
  • Plan for the future with a defined benefit pension plan (HOOPP) for all staff

Surrey Place offers competitive salaries and an industry-leading defined benefit pension plan to promote financial growth.

The Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP) is one of Canada’s largest and most reputable defined benefit pension plans. HOOPP guarantees a stable monthly income that starts at retirement and continues for the rest of your life. HOOPP calculates retirement income based on your years of service and the highest average salary. HOOPP benefits are adjusted annually to keep pace with inflation, ensuring your retirement income stays aligned with the cost of living.
Additionally, HOOPP also allows for early retirement, beginning as early as age 50 with a reduced pension. This plan offers a secure and trustworthy retirement plan with a range of benefits that promotes financial security and peace of mind. HOOPP is available to all employees including part-time and contract staff. We are proud to match 126% of employee contributions to HOOPP, ensuring financial security for our employees during retirement.

Flexibility and Time Off

  • Build a schedule that fits your lifestyle with compressed and flexible schedule options
  • Take a paid year off for that dream degree or trip with the Prepaid Leave Plan (PLP)
  • Invest time in your growing family with the Supplementary Employment Benefits (SEB) Plan
  • Take time away with paid vacation, sick time, 11 statutory holidays, 4 personal days, pregnancy and parental leave
  • Set a rhythm to your week that meets your needs with hybrid and remote work options

Surrey Place understands the importance of balancing work and personal responsibilities. Our compressed and flexible work policy allows employees to adjust their work schedules to better suit their needs. Compressed work schedules involve working longer hours on fewer days, such as four ten-hour days instead of five eight-hour days. In addition, this policy allows employees to adjust their start and end times while working remotely. This approach provides greater flexibility for employees, helping them achieve a better work-life balance.

Take a break, get paid, and come back better than ever! The Prepaid Leave Plan (PLP) offers employees the chance to defer one-fifth (1/5) of their annual salary over four years and enjoy a one-year paid leave.

Our Supplementary Employment Benefits (“SEB”) Plan allows employees to take time off work to focus on their family and new additions to their family. Employees entitled to pregnancy or adoption leave may be eligible for an allowance from SEB in addition to employment insurance benefits. The allowance consists of payments equivalent to 84% of the actual weekly rate of pay for the first two weeks, and for up to an additional 15 weeks, payments equal to the difference between weekly EI benefits and any other earnings received, plus 84% of your pre-leave weekly rate of pay.

Workplace Culture and Professional Development

  • Work towards your goals with professional development
  • Feel safe and supported by our workplace with Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility policies and procedures
  • Enjoy your team and a friendly, upbeat day-to-day experience with a positive work environment and culture
  • Feel appreciated for your work and commitment with employee recognition

To support the professional development of our employees we offer comprehensive training and development opportunities, such as on-the-job training, formal mentorship program, coaching, and access to professional development resources to all employees. Our training and development programs are designed to help our employees enhance their skills, acquire new competencies, and advance their careers. Surrey Place strives to promote a culture of continuous learning and improvement, supporting the growth and development of our employees at all levels.

Equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility, are values that drive our culture and success. Surrey Place is dedicated to creating a welcoming environment for our clients, families, staff, and community partners. We are mindful of the barriers that underrepresented and disadvantaged communities face in accessing employment opportunities and we strongly encourage those from underrepresented groups to apply for open positions at Surrey Place. To further our commitment to inclusion, we offer training and professional development programs that promote cultural responsiveness. Surrey Place takes pride in celebrating diversity in all its forms and fostering an inclusive culture that supports progress and success for everyone.

At Surrey Place, we value the contributions and dedication of our staff and employees. Each year, we hold an Employee Recognition event to acknowledge and appreciate our employees’ efforts in delivering exceptional service to our clients. During this event, we present different awards to recognize the outstanding performance of our staff. The Long-Term Services Award recognizes dedicated commitment and service, while the Values Award acknowledges an employee who consistently demonstrates our core organizational values. We also have the Health and Safety Award, which recognizes staff who make significant contributions to improving workplace health and safety at Surrey Place. These awards showcase our commitment to recognizing and celebrating the hard work and achievements of our employees.
