PEO Canada has been providing customized employer services to a wide variety of businesses for over 20 years. We provide our diverse clients with human resources consultation services and their Canadian employees with exceptional group benefits, retirement savings programs, workers’ compensation, and payroll services. Our teams are focused on, and empowered to create an exceptional experience for themselves, their teams and our valued client partners.

An open concept office, welcoming team, great advantages, fitness facilities, charitable hours exchange and regular in-office team building events are some hallmarks of our company culture. We believe in maintaining a strong work/life balance so that we have the resources and energy to work play at our fullest capacities. A true disconnect-from-work philosophy means that our team members do not have access to email outside of the office.

We take customer service seriously and know that our teammates are just as important as our clients. We strive for partnership and collaboration, and have committed to refocusing on these principles as we continue to grow and evolve. Our Leadership team supports and encourages those who are eager to learn, prioritizes promotion from within, and fosters an environment of open communication for our employees.
