2018 Silver Recipient
Excellence, Innovation and Wellness
Engineers Canada is the national organization of the provincial and territorial associations that regulate the practice of engineering in Canada and license the country’s 290,000 members of the engineering profession. Engineers Canada provides expertise, services and tools to encourage the growth of engineering in Canada, help establish consistent high standards, and inspire public confidence.
Since 2016, Engineers Canada has simplified its governance approach, refined and clarified its organizational purpose, created a new strategic plan and strengthened communications. Annual planning, budgeting and monitoring processes are continually improving. There is better control and management of policies, reduced staff turnover, improvements to the management and documentation of key business processes and projects, and better alignment within planning processes. Employees are engaged, working in a culture that encourages and values the free flow of information in pursuit of continual growth.
We launched our Journey to Excellence Visibility Board to show progress toward silver certification, highlight improvements, and showcase staff achievements.
Engineers Canada staff participate in a organization-wide gap analysis to launch our path to silver certification.
“Engineers Canada is proud to have achieved the silver certification. Our team has taken major leaps in making continual improvement a foundational part of how we work, and we are seeing the benefits as we work smarter, achieve greater impact, and reinforce our positive team culture. ”
