Ceridian named one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers for ninth consecutive year!
Markham, ON: November 7, 2011 — Ceridian Canada Ltd., a leading Human Capital Management solutions provider, today announced it has been named one of Canada's Top 100 Employers for 2012, marking the ninth time the company has received this honour. Published by Maclean's and compiled by Mediacorp Canada Inc., the annual list recognizes leadership in workplace benefits, and the ability to recruit and retain top-performing talent. Award organizers cited this year to be the most competitive yet, with a 15 per cent increase in applications.
“To achieve this honour nine years in a row is actually quite humbling, and we are thrilled to be in the company of so many leading Canadian organizations,” said Dave MacKay, president, Ceridian Canada Ltd. “We view the Canada’s Top 100 Employers competition as confirmation of our internal HR practices, and as a solid indicator of the richness of our benefits offering. This competition also reaffirms the strength of our culture, and our commitment to excellence in the Human Resources space. As a Human Capital Management solutions provider, we absolutely must strive for excellence in HR.”
The Mediacorp team looked for best practices and innovative approaches in eight key areas: Physical Workplace; Work Atmosphere & Social; Health, Financial & Family Benefits; Vacation & Time Off; Employee Communications; Performance Management; Training & Skills Development; and Community Involvement.
“Each year, we conduct an engagement survey, we hold executive town hall sessions and more than 100 employee focus groups to be sure that we are listening to our employees,” said John Cardella, Executive Vice-President and Chief People Officer. “This enables us to continually improve upon our benefits offerings, and to implement new programs to meet the needs of the workforce, such as relevant development offerings, and reward and recognize programs that connect with our high-performers in meaningful ways. The two-way communication and constant re-evaluation is what sets this organization apart. Not only are we not afraid to ask, our employees are never afraid to answer, and we believe that this honesty and willingness to evolve contribute to our repeat top employer status.”
