As an employer of choice we offer....
Compensation Philosophy
We believe that people are key to the ongoing success of OMERS and we offer a highly competitive total rewards package to recruit and retain a workforce that is strongly committed to delivering our pension promise.
We offer competitive base salaries and incentive compensation to all our employees. Our total rewards package focuses on incentive pay because we have a strong commitment to rewarding achievement. We operate on the principle that base salary will be paid at the median of our external market and industry comparator groups. OMERS incentive programs will pay in the top 25% of our comparator group when superior performance and results are achieved.
Comprehensive benefits and working environment
As a member of the OMERS 'team', every employee is an automatic member of our own very successful pension plan. Employees are immediately enrolled in our comprehensive benefit plans that include life, income protection, health, dental and travel accident insurance and an Employee Assistance Program - all 100% employer paid.
In addition, OMERS offers a competitive vacation program and recognition for extra hours worked for all employee groups.
Our Work and Family programs are designed to meet diverse personal and professional needs. To retain the high calibre people we need to succeed, we offer work-life balance days and attractive flexible work arrangements such as summer days program and lieu days program, part-time or contractual work. In addition, our year-round 'business-casual' dress environment reflects the perfect blend of professionalism and comfort.
Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Toronto, OMERS is only 3 minutes from Union station and steps to shops, restaurants and the theatre district.
Personal learning and development
OMERS provides a uniquely dynamic working environment that fosters individual development and provides the opportunity to advance within the organization.
We are constantly looking for ways to encourage employees to seek new opportunities and expand their industry knowledge. To that end, we are dedicated to providing the tools, resources and support necessary for continuous learning and development. This includes on-the-job learning, internal and external work specific training courses, tuition reimbursement programs, as well as payment for professional association and member fees.
Culture
We are a growing organization that strives to be the best, and prides itself on organizational values and quality service. As an OMERS employee, you join a dedicated team of professionals working towards a common objective: the retirement security of more than 223,000 municipal workers and over 96,000 retirees. Every action taken and every decision made supports this key objective.
This combination of compensation, benefits, learning and development, and a supportive work environment and culture have been key to making OMERS one of the top companies to work for in Canada!
