“We are a people-business. The people in our company
spend each and
every day helping others to improve their lives, so it
is important to
us to provide them with a work environment that is
second to none, to
support them in the amazing work that they do.”
Dr. Debbie Samsom, Back in Motion President
We are committed to the quality of our compensation
and benefits package by including unique perks on an ongoing basis.
Here are some great reasons why you should work for
Back in Motion!
Back in Motion Rehab was selected as the 2009-2010 winner of the Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award in the category of small (less than 100 employees) for-profit company.
The Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award was started by the American Psychological Association a few years ago, and currently has competitions in 52 jurisdictions across North America. The mission of the award is to help inform businesses and other organizations as to how to create and sustain psychologically healthy workplaces, as well as publically recognize companies and agencies exemplifying psychologically healthy practices.
Back in Motion has been rated one of the best workplaces in Canada by the Great Place to Work Institute (2006–2008).
We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package that includes:
Back in Motion’s directors, managers, and staff are diverse, energetic, and fun! We have a Social Committee that organizes company-sponsored staff events throughout the year.
Here are some of the activities we’ve participated in over the years:
Unlike many larger companies, Back in Motion’s directors and managers work closely with staff to maximize mentorship opportunities. Senior staff members are paired up with new employees or students to provide them with evidence-based training and team-based peer support.
In addition to the monetary allowance and paid days off for education, Back in Motion also offers in-house workshops to staff.
Our HR Department also works with all staff and management to develop individual professional development plans. Staff skill sets, experience, education, and interests are considered to help staff to grow, develop, and to promote career development. When new positions become available, we preferentially promote from within.
At Back in Motion we care as much about the environment and community as we do about the clients we serve. We believe corporate social responsibility encompasses a manner of conducting business that is respectful and reflects current environmental, social and economic principles. That is why we established the Corporate Activity for the Respect of the Environment and Society (CARES) Committee in 2005.
Back in Motion Rehab has a reputation as an industry leader that provides innovative employment and rehabilitation solutions.
We undergo a rigorous accreditation process by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) to ensure our services and facilities meet industry standards. Currently, the Activity-related Soft Tissue Disorder Program, Occupational Rehabilitation 2 Program, and Head Injury Assessment and Treatment Services at Back in Motion have been accredited.
The 2007 CARF survey outcome report states, “The leadership of Back in Motion Rehab has not only created and maintained excellence in rehabilitation, but has, along with a strong team of committed staff members, created a workplace environment that is participatory and committed to excellence and emphasizes continuous improvement in all areas.”
