• FortisAlberta supports employees in planning for the future with retirement planning assistance services and contributions to a defined contribution pension plan. Employees also have the option to transition into retirement gradually through flexible phased-in retirement work options.
  
  
• FortisAlberta invests in ongoing employee education with generous tuition subsidies of up to $3,000 for courses taken at external institutions and offers academic scholarships for children of employees (up to $1,500).

"I’m incredibly proud of our employees, who are deserving of this recognition,” says Heather Speers, Vice President, Human Resources. “We have worked together to make our company a safe, inclusive and dynamic workplace. Our employees’ contributions and engagement help create a culture we can all be proud of.”
