Building strong communities at work: Winners of this year's 'Saskatchewan's Top Employers' competition are announced
REGINA, April 12, 2017 /CNW/ - With its long history of progressive social policies and innovation, it's no surprise that Saskatchewan is home to some the nation's most forward-thinking HR programs and workplaces. These employers make it easy for employees to feel at home by maintaining strong connections to the communities where their employees live and work. That's the message from winners of this year's Saskatchewan's Top Employers competition, announced this morning by Mediacorp Canada Inc., which organizes the annual Canada's Top 100 Employers project.
"A powerful reason why people join an organization is a desire to make a difference in their community," says Richard Yerema, Managing Editor of the Canada's Top 100 Employers project. "This is something that winners of this year's Saskatchewan's Top Employers competition understand deeply. They model their workplace culture with the goal of building a community, resulting in engaged and motivated employees."
Now in its 12th year, Saskatchewan's Top Employers is a special designation that recognizes Saskatchewan employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work. Employers throughout Saskatchewan were evaluated by the editors at Canada's Top 100 Employers using the same criteria as the national competition: (1) Physical Workplace; (2) Work Atmosphere & Social; (3) Health, Financial & Family Benefits; (4) Vacation & Time Off; (5) Employee Communications; (6) Performance Management; (7) Training & Skills Development; and (8) Community Involvement. Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offer the most progressive and forward-thinking programs. The annual competition is open to any employer with its head office in Saskatchewan; employers of any size may apply, whether private or public sector.
Founded in 1992, Mediacorp Canada Inc. is the nation's largest publisher of employment periodicals. Since 1999, the company has managed the Canada's Top 100 Employers project, which includes 19 regional and special-interest editorial competitions that reach over 15 million Canadians annually through a variety of magazine and newspaper partners.
