The Canadian Hockey Association is the best employer I have worked for
in my 35 years in the workforce. We are non profit and therefore wages
are fairly low, but they recognize that and provide good benefits,
fairly up to date technology to assist us with our work, an open door
policy, good communication up and down, and a great atmosphere. I'm not
saying we are without our office politics and the sexes enjoy complete
equality as that doesn't seem possible in any office. We work long
hours - our contracts/employment letters state that our normal working
hours are 8:30 am-4:30 pm, but on occasion, extra time may be required.
My days are rarely less than 9-10 hours on average and there are some
who put even more time in. Most of us are not only employees, but
volunteers as well as we believe in the value of what we teach to kids,
not only with respect to the sport, but also for their future potential
as contributing human beings. Dress code is business casual, except on
Fridays when we dress more casually with jeans allowed and, in the
summer, walking length shorts. We deal with people from all walks of
life as the company is volunteer driven and our teams represent Canada
at the international competitions. Interaction between staff and
players, coaches, officials, etc. is common. We also deal directly with
other country's hockey federations. Opportunities for advancement are
limited for women, but possible. For men, it's a bit easier and some
have advanced through the levels to Vice President. Our staff is young
and while some leave us for the National Hockey League, service is
usually fairly long term, limiting future openings. These people care
about their employees and show it. We've just been given the Queen's
Commemorative Medal, all of us, for the care and time we put into our
jobs. We have opportunities for other 'perks' occasionally. We work
hard, we play hard...some more than others. This is a great place to
work
