Employment philosophy and working environment
Employment philosophy
The foundation of NRC's vision and contributions to Canada is its people. The core of NRC's performance and success is the knowledge, imagination, dedication and creativity of its staff and its ability to attract, retain and be a preferred home for the "best of the best."
In 2000-2001, NRC launched its employment philosophy, a comprehensive strategy for developing the human and intellectual capital that is crucial to driving innovation and discovery.
The philosophy rests on four principles:
- Recruit and retain outstanding people
- Give them the opportunity to grow professionally, to utilise their strengths and to deliver to the maximum of their capabilities
- Reward them based on their level of productivity
- Create a respectful partnership with trust and understanding between them and NRC
Working environment
For NRC employees, the intent is to create a working environment known for its:
- Competitive salaries, benefits and job continuity benefits
- Top quality management and leadership
- Important programs and interesting jobs
- Extensive learning, personal growth and career enhancement opportunities
- Inviting, participative organizational climate, featuring respect, recognition, teamwork and sensitivity to the need for balance between work and personal life
- Employee access to the latest in technology, equipment, facilities and business practices as part of a focus on continued enhancement of personal employability
- Respect for diversity, employment equity, and Canada's two Official Languages
