Building Your Future While You Care for Ours.
Alberta Health Services supports its workforce through a "Total Rewards" program that balances immediate perks with long-term financial security. For retirement, eligible staff participate in the Local Authorities Pension Plan (LAPP), a defined benefit plan where both the employee and AHS share costs to provide a predetermined monthly income for life based on age, salary, and service.
This is complemented by a Group Savings Plan that allows for convenient payroll deductions into RRSPs for tax-deferred growth or TFSAs for tax-free earnings, both featuring lower investment management fees than individual retail plans.
Beyond financial planning, AHS prioritizes well-being through the Employee & Family Assistance Program (EFAP), offering free, confidential counseling and coaching to staff and their families. Employees also enjoy a wide array of corporate discounts on essentials and leisure, including fitness, technology, and travel.
These benefits are typically accessed by presenting a valid AHS employee ID or by utilizing specific corporate codes found on the internal AHS intranet.

For those moving to take a position, AHS offers Relocation Assistance for employees willing to commit to a 12-month placement, which can save thousands in moving and setup costs.
While specific external discount codes are kept on the internal Insite (AHS Intranet), employees are encouraged to stay informed through internal newsletters and the "Healthy Me" portal, which frequently announces temporary promotions, seasonal "perk" codes for events, and new business partners added to the discount registry.
AHS offers a wide range of free internal learning resources (face-to-face and e-learning) and, in some cases, reimbursement for professional fees and certifications required for your role.
