\"\"The University of the Fraser Valley has once again been named one of BC\u2019s Top Employers.\u00a0 This marks the eighth straight year that UFV has been selected.<\/p>\n

BC\u2019s Top Employers is a competition that recognizes employers in British Columbia that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work.<\/p>\n

Mark Pearson, UFV\u2019s Manager, Recruitment Services, says that throughout two years of the pandemic, UFV has continued to focus on creating a positive work environment that will attract and retain excellent faculty and staff members.<\/p>\n

This includes helping employees transition back to working on campus after an extended period of home-based work; the launch of a hybrid remote work pilot program that lets participating staff members continue to work from home part time; launching Strive to Thrive, a revival of the employee fitness challenge retooled for a hybrid setting; and the creation of UFV at Work, a blog focused on human resources news and events.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also saw a lot of employees and departments really \u2018pull together\u2019 during the challenge of the pandemic to keep a sense of unity and community while we were physically apart,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Reasons cited by the judges why UFV<\/strong> was selected as one of BC’s Top Employers (2022) include:<\/p>\n
