'You need to attract talented employees more than ever to make sure your organization is the one driving change'
Danone Canada, Bell Canada, Irving Oil and CBC are among Canada’s Top 100 Employers for 2020, according to Mediacorp Canada, which runs the annual competition.
The nominees were graded based on eight criteria: physical workplace, work atmosphere and communications, financial benefits and compensation, health and family-friendly benefits, vacation and personal time off, employee engagement and performance, training and skills development and community Involvement.
"When I look back at our first list of winners two decades ago, it's hard to believe that the benefits and programs we wrote about then would be enough to put an employer past our first cut, let alone secure a place on today's list,” says Richard Yerema, managing editor of the Canada's Top 100 Employers project at Mediacorp.
“Through the project, you can actually see what the best vacation policies are, what the best parental leave policies are, and how they are changing. We've witnessed employers discovering where they could improve, making changes and becoming part of the list themselves.”
Technology and globalization have changed the nature of employment and have accelerated the pace at which organizations rise and fall, says Anthony Meehan, publisher at Mediacorp.
“You need to attract talented employees more than ever to make sure your organization is the one driving change, not the one being driven out by new competitors. Add to this Canada's aging workforce and the declining share of young people entering the workforce and the result is a 'perfect storm' for employers trying to stay ahead.”
