Reporting to the CEO, the Director of People and Culture is a member of the senior leadership team and is responsible for making significant contributions to achieving the core values and strategic direction of CMHA Toronto. The Director's leadership and management responsibilities comprise HR strategy and operations, technology and talent management, and employee engagement. The Director will lead key aspects of the culture and workplace growth and change strategies, partnering with the Senior Leadership Team and Communications to develop strategies and initiatives to reinforce organizational change while promoting awareness, transparency, and two-way feedback.

The Organization Culture

CMHA Toronto is committed to promoting a workplace culture of inclusion, openness, mutual respect, and a `no blame and accountable' environment. Our staff report that they value the flexibility in work schedules and the work-life balance CMHA Toronto encourages and often comments on the sense of family and personal support that exists throughout the organization.
