Seven NB Organizations, Companies Named Atlantic Canada’s Top Employers
Canada’s Top Employers project has released its list of Atlantic Canada’s Top Employers for 2017, with seven New Brunswick organizations and companies making the cut.
Irving Oil, Medavie Blue Cross, New Brunswick Community College, Opportunities New Brunswick, University of New Brunswick, Aditya Birla Group and Xplornet Communications Inc. were among this year’s 30 winners.
Run by Mediacorp Canada Inc., Atlantic Canada’s Top Employers is an annual competition in its eighth year. The top employer designation recognizes employers in the four Atlantic provinces that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work.
Greg Bambury, vice president of talent and communications at Medavie Blue Cross, said in a release the organization is happy to be named.
“Medavie Blue Cross is delighted to be one of Atlantic Canada’s most attractive employers, especially after winning Canada’s Top 100 Employers last year,” he said. “While we continue to grow our national presence, our roots are in Atlantic Canada and that gives special meaning to this recognition.”
Employers are evaluated based on eight criteria: physical workplace; work atmosphere & social; health, financial & family benefits; vacation & time off; employee communications; performance management; training & skills development and community involvement.
