By Richard Yerema and Kristina Leung, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors (Mar 10, 2025)
Here are some of the reasons why Artis REIT was selected as one of Manitoba's Top Employers (2025):
- Artis REIT helps employees balance work and personal commitments with up to seven paid personal days per year, and provides additional time off with a four-day paid holiday shutdown during the winter months, in addition to annual vacation entitlements
- Artis REIT rewards employees through an equity incentive plan, offering opportunities for ownership as well as a direct stake in the company's performance -- the plan allocates restricted units based on tenure, which can be converted into cash, Artis REIT units, or a combination of both
- Artis REIT offers employees free access to a fully equipped on-site fitness facility and supports an employee wellness committee -- the committee promotes healthy lifestyles through a number of initiatives, including offering healthy snacks, hosting yoga and boot camp sessions, and celebrating Healthy Workplace Month in October (with weekly wellness challenges and lunch-and-learn sessions on health-related topics)
