April 26, 2017 – Online is pleased to announce that the organization has been recognized as one of the “Best Workplaces in Canada” for the 11th consecutive year. Online was also named one of the “Best Workplaces in Canada for Women” for the 6th consecutive year.
“Our efforts to ensure Online truly is a great place to work have allowed us to attract and retain the best talent in the marketplace for over 30 years,” said Chuck Loewen, Online’s Founder and CEO. “Cultures evolve over time and we are constantly striving to be an irresistible company to work with and for. Receiving thi
s honour shows that our efforts are having an impact.”
The Best Workplaces lists are compiled by Great Place to Work® Institute Canada and, along with related stories, appear in a special national report in today’s The Globe and Mail. The competition process is based on two criteria: two-thirds of the total score comes from a 58-statement survey completed by employees, along with their open-ended comments about their organization; 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 practices.
“Our people are what make Online such a great place to work,” said Ria Neuendorff, Online’s Chief People Officer. “Every year we look forward to the Great Place to Work® results to validate what we are doing right, but even more importantly, what we can do better.”
