First Calgary supports the ongoing development of employees through subsidies for tuition and professional accreditation, and offers employees up to $250 for a special interest course of their choosing (in arts, music, etc.). The company also partners with SAIT to provide employees access to subsidized training for management and customer service. The company recently created the role of "Career Planning and Talent Specialist" to oversee succession planning and career management with the organization.
On the job, head office employees have access to a variety of onsite amenities, including a fitness facility with free memberships, employee lounge with foosball, table hockey, table tennis, and board games, and free onsite parking. In addition, employees enjoy a relaxed work environment with casual dress Fridays, music while working, employee sports teams, and a social committee that organizes subsidized social events throughout the year.
