Winners of Best Workplaces 2018

2018

May 8, 2018

Canadian Companies recognized as Best Workplaces 2018. This year there is an impressive list of recognized companies including Phoenix Contact, Rittal, True North Automation, Peer group, JMP Engineering, Cadence, Electromate, 3M Canada, LMI Technologies, SAP Canada and a number of other industry related companies. Congrats to all the recipients.

The 2018 Best Workplaces in Canada list is compiled by Great Place to Work® Institute Canada. The competition process is based on two criteria: two-thirds of the total score comes from confidential employee survey results; the remaining one-third of the score comes from an in-depth review of the organization’s culture, including an evaluation of HR policies and procedures. This offers a rigorous representation of the organization from an employee perspective, and an overall portrait of the workplace culture. Together, they provide crucial data relative to the five trust-building dimensions of a great place to work®: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.

This year’s list received over 400 registrations and over 80,000 employees participated in the 2018 “Best Workplaces™ in Canada” survey, rolling out to impact over 300,000 Canadian employees.
