What Is Important To Us

The Glencoe is very proud of its heritage, its employees and its members.
Our success has been in no small part due to always following our core values as a company.

Respect

We honour our traditions, our facilities and one another by acting with, courtesy, sportsmanship, and following Club etiquette.

Wellness

We support healthy active lifestyles by offering engaging sport and social programs, and professional health and wellness services.

We continuously improve by listening, trying better ways of working, and making thoughtful decisions that protect our identity and future through fiscal responsibility and good governance.

Caring

We take pride in our club and the people who make it special by welcoming members and guests, showing our appreciation to staff and giving back in ways that strengthen our community and culture.

Relationships

We honour our traditions, our facilities and one another by acting with, courtesy, sportsmanship, and following Club etiquette.

The spirit of giving to those less fortunate has been a part of the Glencoe culture since 1992 when employees of the Aquatics department adopted a family in need. The following year, they adopted three families and other Glencoe departments joined in. Food, clothing and gifts were collected and distributed. Soon, members asked if they could help too. In 1994, the Creative Department organized and re-branded the Christmas charity program to Project Angel.

For over 30 years, members and employees have donated their time, money and support in giving back to a number of various charitable organizations. The Glencoe Club is excited to continue this tradition with our season of giving and other charitable initiatives throughout the year. Each year, we elevate the awareness of Project Angel with a month-long, member targeted campaign during the holiday season. Many generous families participate in Project Angel and each year, more individuals, families and friends discover the joy of giving.

At the Glencoe, we believe that if we focus on what we are doing well, it will keep on happening and we have a number of recognition programs that support this.

  • Annual Awards – recognizing employees for excellence in service
  • Long Term Service Awards – recognizing employees every 5 years/seasons of their employment  
  • Employee Referral Programs – Rewarding employees who refer a successful applicant for any available position in the Club
  • Employee Appreciation Days
  • Annual Employee Awards Night 

Giving recognition is not just left for the supervisor. With the support of our Recognition Committee, we empower each and every person to participate, so that we can all be a part of building a grateful culture, one thoughtful appreciation at a time.

Peer-to-peer Recognition: 

  • Shout Out Cards – any employee can provide a Shout Out card to a colleague, to recognize the things that sometimes get taken for granted. These cards come with points and when a certain amount is reached, can be ‘cashed in’ for a gift voucher of their choice.  Monthly Shout Out winners are also recognized each month.
  • Contribute Awards – for employees who go out of their way, and above and beyond their job description, to create an exceptional experience or lasting impact. 

Across all our recognition initiatives, we are committed to celebrating the people behind our success and fostering a culture where great work is consistently acknowledged and appreciated.
