TORONTO, Jan. 28, 2025 /CNW/ -- Ericsson Canada has once again been named by Forbes as one of Canada's top employers. The company ranked first in the Telecommunications, Cable Supplier industry on the annual list of Canada's Best Employers, placing 29th out of 300 large-scale organizations, up 35 spots from last year. This also marks the tenth consecutive year that Ericsson Canada has been recognized by Forbes on this list, placing it among only 30 "Honour Roll" companies, demonstrating Ericsson Canada's unwavering commitment to employees and their professional development.

Forbes and market research company Statista analyzed findings from a survey of employees of Canadian companies and institutions that employ 500 people or more to compile the list. Respondents were asked to rate their employer on various factors, including opportunities for promotions, gender pay equality, and how supervisors manage direct reports. Respondents also indicated whether they would recommend their employer to others and rated other employers in their respective industries.
