The 100 best places to work in Canada

The following companies took the top spots for 2013:

• Large and Multinational (>1000 employees in Canada or worldwide) Employer: Google
• Best Medium (<1000 employees) Employer: Habanero Consulting Group
• Best Workplace for Women: Royal LePage Performance Realty

Organizations on this year’s list were ranked using the results of an employee survey, the Trust Index, developed by global research firm Great Place to Work Institute. This methodology is utilized by more than 6,000 organizations in almost 50 countries each year, making it the most widely adopted workforce satisfaction tool in the world.

Trust leads to ROI
Regardless of size, industry or the current economic climate, each of these organizations has discovered that trust is the foundation for quality jobs and performance excellence. And the good news is that high-trust relationships require behaviours that can be learned and embedded into any organization’s culture.

What’s more, organizational leaders who develop a high level of trust with their employees see stronger employee performance, often translating into stronger company performance.  The U.S. version of the survey shows that, even in a difficult economy, the best companies averaged 295% return on investment from 1997 to 2011.
