Thriving Workplace

At Clover Leaf Seafoods, we take a proactive approach to employee health and wellness – one that emphasizes healthy habits, awareness, and disease prevention. Clover Leaf provides an ongoing series of on site Health and Wellness programs for employees which are designed to:

Increase individual responsibility for healthcare
Cover preventative care as fully as possible
Establish a tangible culture of health and wellness

We believe that employee health and wellness is important. Good health practices benefit not only our individual employees, but our business as a whole. After all, a healthier workforce improves productivity, morale, absenteeism, and time on the job. And on an individual level, healthy employees enjoy a higher quality of life. Additionally, a healthier workforce reduces health care costs. It all adds up to a healthier lifestyle for everyone involved.

Healthy eating habits start with an array of fruit in the morning, compliments of Clover Leaf. We also offer employee discounts on our products to encourage seafood consumption.

Clover Leaf Seafoods also has an extremely aggressive safety management system aimed at delivering a safe and professional work environment for our employees, visitors and neighbours. We manage safety very seriously and have dedicated personnel at each manufacturing location to facilitate safety programs under the guidance of our corporate EHS Director.

Our safety management system, Key Concepts of Safety, includes programs that require consistent employee engagement, management commitment and regulatory compliance. We measure our progress by tracking key metrics such as Total Recordable Incident Rate. In 2010, we exceeded our goal of 2.64 incident rate and have had a declining rate for 5 years since implementation.

Our goal of a thriving workplace extends to our supply chain as well. Clover Leaf Seafoods conducts business ethically, honestly and in a manner that respects individuals, their communities and the environment. We expect the same from those with whom we work and expect that our suppliers operate with similar values and adhere to basic requirements in order to maintain a relationship with us.

A long term goal for Clover Leaf is to integrate our sustainability practices into our day-to-day business, A critical step in reaching this goal is to engage our employees. So we introduced an individual sustainability awareness program which not only executes visible sustainability initiatives in the workplace but also educates our employees about our corporate sustainability efforts and daily practices.

Clover Leaf initiatives in this area include:
