A complete, alphabetical listing of the best employers in the country
The winners of Canada's Top 100 Employers for 2009 have been announced, and Richard Yerema, managing editor of the list published by Mediacorp Canada, said top employers continue to push the limits of what they offer employees despite the economic climate.
"Even amid the market uncertainties we've seen over the past year, forward-thinking employers are redoubling their efforts to improve working conditions for the people who help them weather these economic storms," he said.
This is the ninth year for the competition. To develop this year's list, Mediacorp examined the recruitment histories of more than 75,000 employers across Canada that it tracks for Eluta.ca, it's job board.
Mediacorp invited 10,000 of the fastest-growing employers, plus 6,000 other companies and organizations in industries it wanted to study closely, to apply. More than 2,000 employers started the application process.
In reviewing the applications, Mediacorp looked at eight key areas:
•physical workplace
•work atmosphere and social
•health, financial and family benefits
•vacation and time off
•employee communications
•performance management
•training and skills development
•community involvement
"This year was the most competitive since starting the Canada's Top 100 Employers project almost a decade ago," said Yerema. "We received a record number of applications from employers and our benchmarks for all the areas we consider have increased in all industries and regions. These employers are leading the nation."
