The list of “Best Workplaces in Canada” is compiled by Great Place to Work® Institute Canada. The Great Place to Work Institute defines winning companies as those organizations where “employees trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do and enjoy the people they work with.”

The competition process is based on two criteria: employee survey results and in-depth review of the organization’s culture, including an evaluation of HR policies and procedures. This offers a representation of the organization from an employee perspective, and an overall portrait of the workplace culture. Together, they provide crucial data relative to the five trust-building dimensions of a great place to work®: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.

This year’s the Great Places to Work Institute saw over 57,000 employees across Canada participate in the 2013 “Best Workplaces in Canada” survey.
