Three Electrical Industry Members Among Canada’s Top Employers for 2019

Canada's Top Employers

Nov 18, 2018

These three organizations from Canada’s electrical industry rank among Canada’s Top 100 Employers, a national competition to determine which employers lead their industries in offering exceptional workplaces for their employees: Emera Inc., Schneider Electric Canada, and 3M Canada.

Companies rise to the top by continuing to evolve every year. This requires a dedicated commitment to making their workplace the best it can possibly be through a wide variety of progressive and innovative programs.

Any employer with its head office or principal place of business in Canada may apply for our national competition. Employers are evaluated using eight criteria, which have remained consistent since the project’s inception:

• physical workplace
• work atmosphere and social
• health, financial and family benefits
• vacation and time off
• employee communications
• performance management
• training and skills development
• community involvement

Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offers the most progressive and forward-thinking programs. Employers of any size may apply, whether private or public sector.

The competition is now entering its 20th year. Applications for the 2020 competition will be available early in 2019.
