The 2024 Best Workplaces™ in Canada list is compiled by the Great Place to Work® Institute. The competition process to be ranked on this list is employee driven and represents multiple industries and sizes of organizations. List rankings are based on employee feedback, which are analyzed to determine the extent to which this experience is shared by the full workforce. Great Place To Work® measures the differences in survey responses across demographic groups and roles within each organization to assess both the quality and consistency of the employee experience. Using the Trust Index™ employee survey, Great Place To Work® measures the core of what creates great workplaces—key behaviors that drive trust in management, connection with colleagues, and loyalty to the company. Statements are weighted according to their relevance in describing the most important aspects of an equitable workplace. This study offers a rigorous representation of the organization from an employee perspective, and an overall portrait of the workplace culture.
This year’s list captures the experience and sentiment of 330,000 employees, rolling out to impact over 600,000 Canadian employees.
