GRANDE PRAIRIE – Aquatera Utilities Inc. is proud to announce that it has been named one of Alberta’s Top Employers for a fourth consecutive year. The annual competition highlights organizations that lead their industries in creating innovative workplaces and offering forward-thinking programs for their employees.

Employers are evaluated using the same criteria as the national competition, including Physical Workplace; Work Atmosphere and Social; Health, Financial and Family Benefits; Vacation and Time Off; Employee Communications; Performance Management; Training and Skills Development; and Community Involvement.

Participants are compared within their respective industries to identify leaders offering the most progressive and innovative programs. The competition is open to employers of any size, across both private and public sectors, with headquarters in Alberta.

“Aquatera takes great pride in cultivating a workplace that not only supports the well-being of our employees but also strengthens the communities where we live and work,” says Bend.

Aquatera’s selection as one of Alberta’s Top Employers is a testament to its commitment to fostering employee engagement and well-being. The organization offers onsite wellness amenities, including a fully equipped fitness center and a tranquil meditation room, empowering employees to prioritize their health. Additionally, Aquatera’s community-focussed initiatives, such as providing a paid day off for employees to volunteer with local organizations, reflect its dedication to making a positive impact both within the workplace and in the communities it serves.
