Workplace Culture
A Workplace Culture Built by and for Employees
When you join CMHC, you become part of a culture driven by employees who know that the best way to ensure a great workplace is to play a role in making it happen.
We are committed to improving the lives of Canadians through housing. Passion, professionalism and performance motivate us to achieve our objectives, and we welcome dedicated, committed professionals who thrive on challenging, meaningful work.
"Being recognized for my contributions is an intrinsic recognition that's not connected to the year-end incentive or to the salary I receive every two weeks. It's having that satisfaction at the end of the day that I've done a good job, achieved a milestone, or made a difference in a team member's life.
