Dentons is honoured to be named among Canada's Top 20 Family-Friendly Employers, a first-time distinction that recognizes the Firm’s exceptional family-friendly benefits, including our enhanced industry-leading parental leave policy. 

“It is of paramount importance we support our people in a way that is meaningful and relevant. We engage in comprehensive consultations and feedback exercises to ensure our policies and benefits reflect what our people want and need,” said Tim Haney, CEO of Dentons Canada. “Indeed, our suite of family-oriented benefits are one important marker of our commitment to being a family-friendly employer to all of our people.”

At Dentons, the work undertaken to update our policies and benefits offering is reflective of our commitment to create a culture of belonging, and meaningfully and sustainably advance inclusion, diversity and equity (ID&E) as an integrated part of all of our systems and processes. As part of this work, our leadership, ID&E and Talent teams review programs and initiatives through an inclusive lens to ensure they continue to meet our people’s needs.

Our family-friendly benefits include, among others:

• Enhanced parental leave policy which offers 26 weeks of parental leave benefits to all eligible employees, with equal top-ups, support for non-gestational caregivers (regardless of gender) and financial assistance for adoption;
• Introduction of gender affirmation benefits to support our transgender and non-binary colleagues. The benefits will help fill the gaps in coverage to better support our people from the transgender community, and further the understanding and acceptance of our people and their families;
• Hybrid and flexible work arrangements;
• Employee and Family Assistance Program; and
• Free unlimited family access to Dialogue, a virtual healthcare program.

“We listen and engage with the members of our Firm on ways we can continue to meet their needs and enhance our benefits offering,” said Kara Sutherland, Chief People Officer of Dentons Canada. “This recognition speaks to our values-driven approach to our people’s wellbeing, and is a reflection of our commitment that Dentons offer parents and caregivers the flexibility and support they need both personally and professionally.”

Dentons is consistently recognized as an employer-of-choice in Canada. The Firm was most recently named one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers and among the country’s Top Employers for Young People.
