Whether it's through our ongoing training and development initiatives, creating a culture of continuous improvement, or fostering a supportive employee experience, we work with employees and units to help advance Waterloo’s workforce for the next decade and beyond.

We recognize that our success is deeply intertwined with the talent, dedication, and passion of our workforce. We strive to create a positive and inclusive workplace culture and build a community where everyone feels respected, valued, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work each day.
