February 11, 2025 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Western Forest Products has been named one of British Columbia’s Top Employers in 2025, according to the annual list determined by editors at Mediacorp Canada. Now in its 20th year, B.C.’s Top Employers is a special designation awarded to employers who lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work.
“Our recognition as a top employer is a reflection of the efforts and shared commitment of our team to foster an engaged and supportive environment. We are committed to building on this achievement by continually improving and evolving together, driven by the insights and contributions of our people,” said Jennifer Foster, Western’s Senior Vice President, Human Resources and Corporate Affairs.
“British Columbia has always been one of the most progressive regions in the country in terms of benefits, flexibility and forward-thinking environmental policies — and this year’s winners are no exception,” said Richard Yerema, executive editor of the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project.
Employers are reviewed based on eight criteria including health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and, community involvement.
Three reasons why Western is one of BC’s top employers this year:
- Western provides comprehensive benefits including access to counselling services for team members and their families via our employee and family assistance provider and benefits plan.
- Western fosters career growth and development through apprenticeships, skilled trades programs, and opportunities for new graduates and students, strengthened by partnerships with educational institutions.
- Western helps team members plan for the future with company contributions to pension programs, supporting retirement readiness.
The competition is open to any employer, public or private sector, with its head office or principal place of business in British Columbia. Read more about B.C.’s Top Employers here.
