Top employer recognition

For the third consecutive year, Cameco has been recognized as one of Canada's top 100 employers.

The award, presented by Mediacorp, looked at the human resource practices of more than 2,700 Canadian organizations.

Selection is based on eight criteria: physical workplace, atmosphere and workplace practices, benefits, communications, performance management and professional development. Charitable efforts and community involvement are also considered.

Cameco was one of only three mining companies and one of only five companies in Saskatchewan to make the latest Top 100 list. Cameco also made the lists for Saskatchewan's Top Employers, The Financial Post's Ten Best Companies to Work For, and Canada's Best Diversity Employers. All named Cameco as a leading corporation. Cameco also received a distinct award as a Top Employer for Canadians over 40.

These awards recognize the premium we put on our workforce. By offering employees a workplace that challenges and rewards them, combined with flexible work arrangements that make balancing home and work possible, we succeed in attracting and retaining capable, effective individuals everywhere we operate.

We offer fair, competitive compensation and benefits to all our employees, and regular performance and career development reviews to salaried staff. We also actively encourage employees to work with us to make a difference in local communities.

While we continue to actively recruit and develop young workers, the average age of our workforce is 40.9 years, reflecting the skill, experience and maturity of our team. Our initiatives in support of diversity include a workplace inclusion and accommodation program, our partnership with Women in Mining, our northern workforce strategy, and our extensive aboriginal outreach program.

We will continue to work to earn recognition as a top employer in the years ahead.
