Schneider, 3M and Siemens among Canada’s Top Employers in 2018
This year’s competition saw a record number of employers take part in the selection process, with an increased number of 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. Employers interested in next year’s competition may also request an application online.
“We are witnessing a remarkable transformation in the nature of work,” says Kristina Leung, Senior Editor at Mediacorp. “Organizations must be open to change so they are able to adapt and make innovation a priority, whether it’s using new HR technology or stimulating employee creativity to find new and better ways of doing things.”
Now entering its 19th 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 consistent 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 selection of winners and a ‘catalogue of best-practices’ for employers and job- seekers alike.
Among the top 100 employers were Schneider Electric, 3M and Siemens.
