A safe, healthy and rewarding workplace

We strive to foster a safe, healthy and rewarding workplace at all of our facilities, and measure progress against key indicators, such as conventional and radiation safety statistics, employee sentiment toward the company and employment creation.

To achieve our growth objectives, we continue to build an engaged, qualified and diverse organization capable of leading and implementing our strategies. Our challenge is to retain our current workforce and compete for the limited number of qualified people available, both to replace retiring employees and to support our growth. Our long-term people strategy includes identifying critical workforce segments and planning our workforce to meet this challenge.

Our approach is working. We were recognized in a number of ways for our employee programs in 2011: the Financial Post named Cameco one of the Top 10 Best Companies to Work For in Canada; Mediacorp named us one of Canada's Top 100 Employers; and The Globe and Mail named us one of Canada's Top Diversity Employers.
