Testimonials
“I consider it a privilege to work downtown for an employer who cares about my work/ life balance and who encourages creativity and innovation.”
“I left my last job to take a contract position with CIHR which became a permanent position. This move has been very beneficial because CIHR values autonomy, flexibility and creativity. Even more importantly, I know that my role here can make a difference for society.”
“I used to work in the private sector and expected that the environment here at CIHR would be completely different. But I ended up being pleasantly surprised by the similarity! I guess I can say that at CIHR, I get the best of both worlds.”
“I've been working at CIHR for 7 years and have already held 4 positions. The numerous career advancement opportunities, the dynamic relationships with coworkers, the diversity of my tasks, and the fact that I'm involved in projects from start to finish are all motivating factors for me. In summary, my job is very fulfilling!”
