'You can tell a lot about a company by how women feel about working there'

Kronos, Ceridian and Salesforce are among the winners of the 2018 list of Canada’s Best Workplaces for Women, according to Great Place to Work.
The employers were selected based on female employee responses to a survey, female advancement at the organization and formal programs that support women.
To be eligible for this list, organizations must have at least 15 female employees, a minimum 90 per cent positive response (from both men and women) to the statement “I am treated fairly regardless of my sex” and be Great Place to Work-certified in the past year.
At the workplaces on the list, 62 per cent of non-managers and 48 per cent of mid and senior managers are female. And almost half of the employers are in non-traditional sectors such as technology.
“You can tell a lot about a company by how women feel about working there,” said Great Place to Work president Chinwe Onyeagoro. “When female employees say the environment is fair and fulfilling, that’s a strong indicator that the business maintains an even playing field for other employees, too.”
“It turns out that exceptional work cultures for women also produce outstanding workplaces for all employees. Companies that lead in this way — by emphasizing the daily engagement and long-term buy-in of women — will see better performance from their teams and a stronger slate of leaders to helm their organizations in the future.”
The Best Workplaces lists are based on feedback from more than 300,000 employees at organizations across Canada. Employees complete an anonymous Trust Index survey, answering questions about how frequently they experience behaviors that create a great workplace, including the transparency of communication, degree of collaboration, quality of benefits programs, opportunity for professional development, and support for work-life balance.
