The Nonprofit Employer of Choice™ (NEOC) process offers Canadian non-profits a tool to measure and continuously improve their leadership attributes, HR practices, and employee satisfaction.  

“Post-pandemic, things are not status quo. The winning organizations continue to place their employees as their number one priority,” said Jeff Doran, president of CCEOC Inc., which administers the NEOC.  “All winning non-profits showed strong leadership qualities, particularly in the areas of building trust and respect, communication, and employee engagement.” 

Winners successfully completed the NEOC Organizational Profile and Employee Commitment Survey achieving a minimum overall score of 75 per cent to qualify for the award. CMHA Toronto was thrilled to receive an overall score of 84 per cent. 

As we celebrate this achievement, we also recognize that our journey does not end here. We remain steadfast in our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation, always seeking new ways to enhance the employee experience and better serve our community.
