Employee Appreciation Day: Strong Co-ops Start with Strong Staff

On this Employee Appreciation Day, we celebrate the dedicated staff who keep our co-ops strong, stable, and community focused.

Our 2025 Custom Insights Report on hiring and keeping staff in housing co-ops underscores what many of us already know: attracting and retaining employees requires meaningful benefits and supportive workplaces. The report was commissioned to provide an overview of post-COVID market conditions for housing co-ops that hire their staff directly. The findings can be used to make a hiring strategy that best fits your co-op’s needs. Providing health benefits, wellness programs and flexible or hybrid work are examples of offerings that staff find attractive. 

Through a partnership with the Co-operative Superannuation Society (CSS), CHF Canada is proud to offer flexible retirement options designed by a co-op for co-ops. Consider aligning your values with the needs of your dedicated employees, who partner with us in the co-operative housing movement.
