Recognizing Excellence, Celebrating Dedication

At The Erb Group, we believe in the power of recognition. Honouring the exceptional contributions of our team members isn’t just a tradition; it’s a fundamental part of who we are.

The Employee Choice Awards (ECA) embodies our shared values, promotes a higher standard of how we do business and encourages us to make a remarkable impact through our daily interactions with peers, clients and community members.

In 2023, The Erb Group announced the launch of our first Annual Employee Choice Award program, which blossomed to help drive employee recognition and support. By placing the power of recognition in the hands of employees, we have the opportunity to acknowledge the unique contributions of each team member and cultivate an environment where appreciation and mutual respect flourish.
