Are you Working For An Award Winning Engaged Company?

The 50 most engaged workplaces in Canada

 

Engagement, which describes employees' passion for their work and commitment to the company's vision, isn’t just a buzzword. Taking time to create a fully engaged workforce, where employees go above and beyond their job descriptions, can not only help boost a company's customer relations but also the its bottom line.

 

Companies that focus on employee engagement tend to perform better financially, attract and retain the best talent and enjoy improved customer service and client retention,” says Razor Suleman, founder and chairman of Achievers, a company that offers social recognition and employee engagement solutions to its clients.

The company recently released its third annual survey of the most engaged companies across the country. A panel of five judges, which included Mr. Suleman, evaluated applicants and selected the winners based on the following eight elements of employee engagement: communication, leadership, culture, rewards and recognition, professional and personal growth, accountability and performance, vision and values and corporate and social responsibility.

The 50 most engaged companies, listed below (in alphabetical order), will be honoured on Nov. 14 at Arcadian Court in Toronto.
