BOC Benefits and Pension

Attracting and retaining qualified chaplains is a top priority for Bridges of Canada.  We recognize the value of our workforce and are constantly looking for strategies that will help us to retain top performers.  Our employee retention program aligns with our culture and focuses on improving employee productivity.  Our action plan includes diligent recruiting, competitive wages, and total compensation, offering flexibility, recognizing employees, prioritizing work-life balance, standardized employee reviews, and relationship with managers.  Open dialogue, transparency, and honest communication fosters healthy employer/employee relationships.  At Bridges of Canada, we believe if we understand our employees’ interests and values, we will be more likely to retain chaplains.

​

According to BOC policy, as well as the Collective Bargaining Agreement held between BOC and the United Steel Workers Union (USW), BOC promotes from within when applicable, which offers our employees a clear path for advancement.  BOC also offers a wide range of incentives and benefits to assist in recruiting and retaining employees to include some of the following:
