About - OpenCircle

Our Story

Building on 35 years of experience as Merit Contractors Association and Merit National, OpenCircle elevates employers and employees by supporting well-being in work, life, and the spaces in between.

As changes occur globally and at home in Canada, they shine the spotlight on the employer-employee relationship, encouraging us to rethink how we work and how we best support employees and their families. Increasingly, the way in which businesses respond to environmental, social, and governance issues, is of concern to the marketplace and society as a whole.

With these kinds of changes gathering pace, OpenCircle is committed to ensuring that we are positioned to respond appropriately. We are future proofing our Members’ businesses. We think of this as a new era, one that demands a far-sighted and proactive strategy.

We proudly empower Members to stay competitive. Because our focus is, and always has been, people. It’s how we help our 1,700 Members and their 50,000 employees across Canada step confidently into the future.
