The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation moved all employees to work-from-home arrangements at the onset of the pandemic and ensured employees had the necessary tech to set up comfortable home offices, including subsidies for home office equipment purchases such as chairs, screens and printers -- and refined its flexible work policies to allow employees to flex their workday start and finish times, offered additional paid time off, hosted light meeting days and enhanced support for health and wellness through their health benefits program
The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation supports its new moms with maternity and parental leave top-up payments, to 85 per cent of salary for 25 weeks and extends parental leave top-up to new dads and adoptive parents, to 85 per cent of salary for 10 weeks -- and offers a $5,000 subsidy for parents who are adopting a child
The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation starts its new employees with three weeks of paid vacation, moving to four weeks after just three years of employment -- senior personnel start with four weeks of paid vacation
