UFA Co-operative Ltd. has been named one of Alberta’s Top 75 Employers for 2020.

This is the eighth year in a row that the Alberta-based co-op has been named in Alberta’s Top Employers annual competition.

"At UFA our values are intrinsically woven into everything we do. We believe in co-operation, collaboration and integrity, and we pride ourselves on being a trusted and reliable supplier of petroleum, crop, livestock, building products and services," says Scott Bolton, UFA President and CEO. "At the end of the day, we all want to be challenged, inspired and feeling like we have given back to the communities we serve. At UFA we have worked hard to build a culture where our employees feel rewarded in every sense. From professional development and opportunities for advancement to a focus on innovation and work-life balance, we’ve built something solid and we’re honoured to be recognized for our commitment by being selected as a 2020 Alberta Top 75 Employer."

This year marks the 15th anniversary of Alberta’s Top Employers competition.

Employers were evaluated by the editors at Canada's Top 100 Employers using the same criteria as the national competition: (1) Physical Workplace; (2) Work Atmosphere & Social; (3) Health, Financial & Family Benefits; (4) Vacation & Time Off; (5) Employee Communications; (6) Performance Management; (7) Training & Skills Development; and (8) Community Involvement. Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offer the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.

The annual competition is open to any employer with its head office in Alberta; employers of any size may apply, whether private- or public sector.
