The 2019 Best Workplaces™ in Canada list is compiled by the Great Place to Work®Institute. The competition process is based on two criteria: two-thirds of the total score comes from confidential employee survey results and the remaining one-third comes from an in-depth review of the organization’s culture. 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 five trust-building dimensions: 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.
“Every day Onliners set out to make a difference – for Online, for our clients and for each other,” said Ria Neuendorff, Online’s Chief People Officer. “There’s no question – it’s our people that truly make Online a Great Place to Work®, and we want to do all we can to help them grow and succeed.”
