Best Employers in the GTA 2011

December 2, 2010 | Silvia | Comments (2)

The 2011 Best Employers by Aon Hewitt, a consulting group, in partnership with the Queen's University School of Business, recognizes the companies that offer strong employee engagement.

What exactly does this mean?

According to Neil Crawford, Aon Hewitt's study leader, "An  employee who is engaged is someone who speaks positively about the organization they are working for. They express a desire to stay and contribute to the organization's success. And they are inspired and motivated by what's going on in the organization — by the leadership, culture, management — to do their best work everyday."

These people do exist and can be found at companies across Canada. 

In the GTA, the number one employer is Cisco Systems, followed by:

    2.  EllisDon Corporation
    3.  PCL Constructors Inc.
    4.  McDonald's Restaurants
    5.  Marriott Hotels of Canada Ltd.
    6.  Bennett Jones LLP
    7.  Wellington West Holdings Inc.
    8.  Chubb Insurance Company of Canada
    9.  Edward Jones

See complete list for the GTA.

See the national results:

MediaCorp Canada also publishes an annual GTA's Top Employers list based on:

  1. physical workplace, which includes perks such as on-site gyms and lounges
  2. work atmosphere and social, described as the overall culture, including organized events
  3. health, financial and family benefits
  4. vacation and time off
  5. employee communications, which refer to the company’s procedures to communicate and get feedback from employees
  6. performance management, including performance reviews, recognition and rewards
  7. training and skills development
  8. and community involvement

Maybe there is a place for you at one of these companies!
