Comprehensive onboarding and career planning
PHSA offers dedicated onboarding programs to help new employees integrate seamlessly. We regularly ask for feedback to improve the hiring and orientation experience. Career planning support is also available to help staff explore and plan their future goals.
Culture of recognition
Through the peer-nominated PHSA+ Awards, the organization celebrates the achievements of individuals, patient partners, volunteers, and teams.
Recently refreshed to incorporate the Coast Salish teachings gifted to us, and PHSA's North Star priorities, this program is a chance to shine a light on those whose efforts inspire, uplift, and make a real difference across the province.
