We Put Our People First
At iQmetrix, we are extremely proud of our multiple-award-winning workplace culture. We focus on creating cohesive and collaborative teams that promote flexibility, autonomy, and meaningful work.
iQmetrix employees have the full support of coworkers, teams, and the organization to be their authentic selves. This in turn empowers employees to own their roles and create great experiences for our communities, our clients, and each other.
Our Award-Winning Culture
At iQmetrix, we take great pride in our award-winning workplace culture, which is based on self-management principles that allow every employee to bring their authentic selves to their roles and thrive in their careers. We have a team of wonderful humans who are united by our shared values, with a focus on diversity and inclusion.
iQmetrix also prides itself on being a learning organization, with an extensive catalog of training and development programs as well as personal coaching available to all iQers. Being great at our jobs while having a lot of fun gives us a sense of belonging that inspires us every day.
What I’ve found is that if you are motivated to be amazing at your job, every day, you can trust in the leadership to see that you’re able to take on more responsibility. Each time my role morphed, it was because I saw a gap and had the autonomy to step into that gap. From a personal point of view, I can’t imagine working anywhere else, now. The people I work with have truly become some of my closest friends.
One of the things I appreciate about iQmetrix is that I’m always motivated by the people I work with and the community of users that we support — and there is a never-ending stream of challenges. Of course, you need to fulfill your core responsibilities, but if you see a challenge that you have some ideas around, you’re not boxed into one role. It’s so energizing to be able to work with smart, interesting people on interesting challenges.
The nature of the work is always changing, and that’s what’s so exciting about telco. Since this industry is in a constant state of motion, there’s always a lot to keep up with, and that greatly impacts what we’re deciding to prioritize or what different projects we might have.
We Invest In You
Work-Life Balance
We offer hybrid working for those near an office city, fully remote options for others, and flexible hours so you never miss your kid’s soccer game. We have incredible paid time off perks, including trusted vacation days and trusted sick days, operated on a “take what you need” basis.
Each full-time iQer also earns a seven-week paid sabbatical after every seven years. We have awesome parental and adoption leave, bereavement leave, six paid community and learning days per year, a buy-your-own-birthday program, and more.
Employee Wellness
Our healthcare and dental benefits are highly comprehensive and competitive. For example, iQmetrix is one of the relatively few companies that offers coverage for fertility drugs. We also offer free in-house coaching, a free Employee Assistance program, the support of our Inclusive Allies group, free gyms in our office locations, and free healthy (as well as less-healthy!) snacks at our stunning offices.
Engagement and Learning
As a company that is working towards being fully self-managed, iQmetrix employees enjoy autonomy and agency in their roles. We are also a learning organization, with an in-house university offering catalog of courses and workshops to help iQers develop their skills and careers. Each iQer is encouraged to create a personal learning plan and a skills map, and they have access to professional development funds for external courses. We also offer fun in-person and online events to spend time together, from team get-togethers and company parties, to smaller office-specific socials and community give-back days.
Your Financial Future
iQmetrix offers a Group RRSP/401K plan with employer-matching contributions up to an annual limit. We also offer every iQers the opportunity to purchase shares in the company and be part of a profit-sharing program.
I have been able to share my opinion and help create new working processes. Now we’re a more mature team and we have much better product design processes and measurement of achievements. It was very nice to play a big part in creating those processes. We also have a great work-life balance and I can have fun. For me, that’s awesome!
My cultural interview for iQmetrix was the best thing I’d ever experienced in my professional life. It was so much fun. I got to know several great people, and I just knew that this was where I wanted to work. iQmetrix just seemed to have the right work-life balance, where you can have fun at work, still be productive, and also take the time you need.
What I love about my job, from day one to now, my work in IQ is flexible and open. I don’t think there is a fixed format — of course, I need to go to work, nine to five, but generally I feel there is a lot of room for me to explore what I want to do.
