Here are some of the reasons why Fednav Limited was selected as one of Montreal’s Top Employers (2025):
- As part of its benefits plan, Fednav Limited provides employees with $1,500 flex dollars per year that can be used for fitness services and equipment, health products and services, personal development, green living, and safety initiatives, to name a few examples
- Fednav Limited encourages employees to reach out into their communities with paid volunteer time, along with matching charitable donations
- Fednav Limited helps employees prepare for the future with retirement planning assistance, along with contributions to a defined benefit pension plan — and retiring employees may be able to slowly step away with phased-in retirement options
