What’s it like to #WorkAtWCB? We know what you do for work is only a small part of who you are. That’s why we try to create an environment where work/life balance is not only possible but is encouraged and supported. For our employees to be their best selves at work, they need to know their family members are well taken care of. Through our partnerships with Kids 3 Daycare & Out of School Care and Kids@ Churchill Park (Churchill Park Family Care Society), our team members in #YEG and #YYC receive specialized rates and/or priority access to full-time and part-time child care services. Do we sound like a good fit for you and your family? Learn about open career opportunities and apply online at: www.wcb.ab.ca/careers. #WorkersCompensation
