Here are some of the reasons why Hewlett Packard Enterprise Canada Co. was selected as one of Greater Toronto's Top Employers (2025):
- HPE empowers employees to make a hands-on impact in their communities with seven and a half paid volunteer days, and matches employee generosity in kind, providing matching charitable donations to a maximum of $5,000 per year
- HPE helps employees prepare for the future with contributions to a defined contribution pension plan, retirement planning assistance and a retirement transition support program that allows employees to gradually reduce their hours while sharing their knowledge and mentoring others
- HPE supports parents expanding their families with maternity and parental leave top-up payments, to 100 per cent of salary for 26 weeks, along with a parental transition support program that allows new parents the opportunity to work part-time for up to 36 months after the birth or adoption of a child, providing more time to bond while easing back into work
