| "At BDC, we are committed to working in partnership towards a shared vision.' During fiscal 2004, we invested $4.5 million in employee training (continuing education, seminars/conferences, second language and internal training). In addition, the Bank supported the implementation of succession plans for a number of employees, thereby fostering professional fulfillment and development within the organization". |

At BDC, we model ourselves on the best, most responsive, and productive small businesses, valuing agility, efficiency and sensitivity in all our dealings.
Our agility is characterized by leading-edge service delivery, the pursuit of continuous improvement, and the ongoing development of the most important resource, our people.
We exemplify efficiency through the team dynamic, sharing expertise and information, supporting and respecting one another, and working toward the same goals.
Our sensitivity translates into caring for individuals with diverse needs, treating individuals fairly, and helping our employees balance their work and personal lives.
And because we are truly a dynamic enterprise, we have created a progressive, wellness-driven total compensation package unique in the industry. It reflects our commitment to our people, their professional fulfilment and their personal development. In addition to a comprehensive and flexible benefits plan, and an excellent pension plan, we go over and above to provide:
- Competitive Compensation
- Vacation buying and selling
- Continuing Education Financial Assistance
- Employee Assistance Program
- Health and Fitness Club Reimbursement
- Employee Computer Purchase Support Plan
- BDC Scholarships (for children of BDC employees)
Professional Development
We give our people every opportunity to reach their full potential by promoting from within and ensuring access to the right learning environment at the right time. Whether it is on-the-job training, internal training programs, or enrolment in courses offered by university or professional programs, BDC supports learning and development that is primarily the employee's responsibility.
Employment Equity & Diversity
A diverse employee base is an important component of BDC's corporate culture and business objectives. In fact, we consider it equally significant to our success as the diversity of our client base. We place the highest priority on fair and progressive employment practices while maintaining a supportive workplace and a knowledgeable approach to diverse customers and competitive strategies.
