Here are some of the reasons why TVO Media Education Group was selected as one of Greater Toronto's Top Employers (2023):
- TVO hosts a "Learn@Work" month each September to engage employees in learning and professional development -- employees are invited to seek new development paths, build skills and explore hobbies through a catalog of lunch and learns and e-learning resources
- TVO helps employees plan for the longer term with retirement planning assistance services and contributions to a defined benefit pension plan -- employees nearing retirement may also step away slowly with phased-in work options
