Media Release: Top 50 Best Small and Medium Employers in Canada!

Community Health Service Provider Ranks Within Top 25 on the List!

Mississauga Ontario February 10, 2010 - Peel Senior Link is pleased to be named among the Top 50 Best Small and Medium Employers in Canada, and particularly ranking 23 within the top 25. The study, now in its sixth year, is published in the Globe and Mail and PROFIT Magazine.

“We are so proud of our employees and excited to have been selected as a Top 50 Best Small and Medium Employer in Canada by Queen’s School of Business in our 4th year of participation. Clearly, our focus on mission/vision/values, service excellence, employee engagement, and continuous performance improvement has paid off big time”, says Raymond Applebaum, CEO.

Carolyn Giddings, Chair of the agency Board of Directors “sees this as well deserved recognition for the extraordinary staff and volunteers who have enabled the organization to achieve this well deserved accomplishment”.

Mrs. Delong, daughter of a Peel Senior Link client says, “that she and her family feel so blessed to have such caring, and skilled workers who care for their mother’s needs on a daily basis. Agency staff truly deserve this honour and recognition”.

Becoming a Top Best Small and Medium Employer is a very detailed and competitive process. This national awards program recognizes top employers with between 50 and 400 employees. This study mirrors the renowned Best Employer in Canada initiative run by partner, Hewitt Associates; however, caters to smaller businesses.

The rankings are primarily determined using the results from Employee Opinion Surveys. Here, 21 key engagement drivers are detailed and analyzed. The evaluation process also includes the assessment of organization practices and perspectives from the leadership team. This year, more than 200 companies across Canada registered to participate in the study. Study partners include Queen's School of Business, Queen’s Centre for Business Venturing and Hewitt Associates.
