13 Electrical Industry Members Make Forbes' Top 300 Canadian Employers for 2017

 

February 23, 2017

In collaboration with online statistics provider Statista, Forbes Magazine asked 8,000 Canadian employees — 81% full-timers — working for large firms or institutions to rate their willingness to recommend their own companies on a scale of 1 to 10. Thirteen Canadian organizations scored in the top 300.

The employees who took part in the survey were consulted anonymously through several online access panels. Respondents were also asked to name good or bad employers in sectors or industries besides their own. The results were recorded in September 2016.

The top 300 employers, representing 25 different industries, were highlighted based on the results. Here’s a list of the Canadian organizations in the top 300 by ranking. The number of employees for each organization appears in brackets.
