Equitable named one of Waterloo Region’s Top Employers for 2026

January 12, 2026 - Equitable® has once again been named as one of Waterloo Area’s Top Employers by Mediacorp Canada, publishers of Canada's Top 100 Employers. This is recognition that Equitable has received since 2009. The annual designation recognizes the employers in the Kitchener-Waterloo and Guelph area who lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work.

“At Equitable, our culture is built on care, passion and curiosity. Every day, our people bring those values to the work they do for our clients, partners, communities and each other,” said Fabien Jeudy, President and CEO at Equitable. “We are proud to support our employees and are honoured to receive this recognition again this year.”

Employers are evaluated by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers using the same eight criteria as the national competition. These include:

  1. Physical workplace
  2. Work atmosphere and social
  3. Health, financial and family benefits
  4. Vacation and time off
  5. Employee communications
  6. Performance management
  7. Training and skills development
  8. Community involvement

Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offers the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.

Equitable was specifically recognized by the selection committee for creating a consistent vacation policy and offering a work outside of Canada policy, hosting company-wide Equitable Together Days and monthly Growing Together events to help foster connections across the company, and for our defined contribution pension plan.
