One of BC's best places to work
UBC is consistently recognized as one of BC’s Top Employers for our leadership in offering an exceptional place to work with progressive and forward-thinking programs. Some of the reasons why UBC is an employer of choice include:
- UBC's commitment to help employees and the campus community explore mental health — through the annual Thrive event, a month-long series of activities and, as part of the health benefits plan, offers a generous mental health practitioner benefit of up to $3,000 annually.
- Supporting employees through various stages of life, from maternity leave top-up payments for mothers-to-be and flexible work options to phased-in retirement work options for those in the later stages of their career.
- Retirement planning assistance services and contributions to a defined contribution pension plan.
- Beautiful campuses, including access from the Vancouver campus to a hiking trail along the shoreline of the Pacific Ocean, and great views of the distant mountains and the surrounding Salish Sea.
