“Being recognized as one of the best workplaces in Canada for the second consecutive year is a tremendous accomplishment in itself, but to also climb 52 spots from the previous year speaks volumes to environment we have built here at Ideaca,” said Mike Alkier, Managing Partner, Ideaca. “Our people are the backbone of our business and we will to continue to work hard to ensure that Ideaca is a great place to work.”
This list of “Best Workplaces in Canada” is compiled by Great Place to Work® Institute Canada. The competition process is based on two criteria: two-thirds of the total score comes from a 58-statement survey completed by a random selection of employees, along with their open-ended comments about their organization; the remaining one-third of the score comes from an in-depth review of the organization’s culture, including an evaluation of HR policies and procedures. This offers a rigorous representation of the organization from an employee perspective, and an overall portrait of the workplace culture. Together, they provide crucial data relative to the five trust-building dimensions of a great place to work®: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.
This year’s list received over 230 nominations and over 49,000 employees participated in the 2012 “Best Workplaces in Canada” survey.
