TORONTO, Nov. 7, 2016 /CNW/ - Placing among the nation's best in multiple categories doesn't just win medals in athletic competitions – if you're an employer, it also earns a coveted place on the annual list of Canada's Top 100 Employers. The 2017 winners, announced this morning, reads like a "who's who" of the employers that lead the nation in attracting and retaining employees.

"When we think about working for an exceptional employer, each of us looks for a few main benefits that are important," says Richard Yerema, Managing Editor at Mediacorp Canada Inc., which manages the competition. "Things like career advancement and training are important when starting our careers, or family-friendly benefits and time-off as we gain more experience. To secure a place on a list such as Canada's Top 100 Employers an employer has to do everything well – it's like being a hockey player who excels at both defence and offence, or an athlete who wins a triathlon."

This year's competition saw a record number of employers take part in the Canada's Top 100 Employers competition, which saw more applicants from all regions of the country. Mediacorp editors started by examining the recruitment histories of over 90,000 employers that it tracks for its popular job-search engine, Eluta.ca. From this pool, Mediacorp invited approximately 7,500 employers to submit detailed applications, including a comprehensive review of their operations and HR practices that compares them to others in their industry and region.

"This year, we've seen more employers put forward programs to improve inclusion at their organizations," says Kristina Leung, Senior Editor of the Canada's Top 100 Employers project at Mediacorp. "We often see these programs described as enabling employees to bring their 'whole-self' to work, but many go beyond traditional views of diversity and inclusion. As society changes, so do the nation's leading organizations – our job as writers is to chronicle how these changes affect the organizational cultures of the most progressive employers."

Entering its 18th year, the Canada's Top 100 Employers competition is an editorial project that recognizes employers with exceptional human resources programs and forward-thinking workplace policies.  Editors at Mediacorp grade employers on eight criteria, which have remained constant since the project's inception: (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. The editors publish detailed reasons for selection and grades for these criteria, providing transparency in the choice of winners and a catalogue of best practices for employers and job-seekers.

Founded in 1992, Mediacorp Canada Inc. is the nation's largest publisher of employment periodicals. Since 1999, the Toronto-based publisher has managed the Canada's Top 100 Employers project, which includes 19 regional and special-interest editorial competitions that reach over 13 million Canadians annually through a variety of magazine and newspaper partners, including The Globe and Mail.  Mediacorp also operates Eluta.ca, the largest Canadian job search engine, which includes editorial reviews from the Canada's Top 100 Employers project. Together with Willis Towers Watson, Mediacorp also hosts Canada's largest conference for senior-level HR professionals, the Top Employer Summit.  This year's conference takes place November 14-15, 2016 in Vancouver and features sci-fi legend and civil rights activist George Takei as keynote speaker.

Attached is the full list of this year's Top 100 winners, which was announced in a national magazine published in The Globe and Mail this morning. The editors' grades and reasons for selection were also published today at: http://www.CanadasTop100.com/national
