Bennett Jones has been selected as one of Alberta's Top Employers 2017, the 7th consecutive year the firm has been ranked as a winning organization.

Alberta's Top Employers recognizes the Alberta-based employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work. Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offer the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.

Here are some of the reasons why Bennett Jones LLP is a top employer:

• In addition to helping employees save for the future through matching RSP contributions, Bennett Jones offers retirement planning assistance and phased-in work options for those nearing retirement
• Bennett Jones supports employees who are new parents with maternity and parental leave top-up payments and provides the option to extend their leave into an unpaid leave of absence
• Bennett Jones encourages employees to lead healthy, active lives with a fitness club subsidy, ranging from $300 to $450 per year

Bennett Jones and other winning employers from this year’s competition will be recognized today at a special luncheon in downtown Calgary. The winners were also announced in a special magazine published simultaneously in the Calgary Herald and Edmonton Journal this morning.
