EFC Partners with Great Place to Work Institute to Promote Workplace Excellence in Canadian Electrical Industry
Sept 20, 2019
Electro-Federation Canada (EFC) and Great Place to Work Institute have announced a strategic partnership to jointly engage the electrical industry in “moving the needle” on workplace excellence initiatives to support talent attraction and retention. This partnership provides members with access to tools and resources to help their organizations strengthen corporate culture, nurture a positive working environment, and ultimately, build greater places to work.
EFC has taken the first step by enrolling in the Great Place to Work (GPTW) certification program, a globally-recognized designation that is awarded to organizations that meet the highest standard of workplace culture.
“This initiative supports EFC’s goal to provide a top-tier work environment, leading by example within our industry,” said Carol McGlogan, President & CEO, EFC. “Several members have already been named to the ‘Best Workplaces in Canada’ list. We have an opportunity to shine an even brighter light on our industry. Through this partnership, members can participate in the certification program and secure best practices taken directly from Canada’s best workplaces, so our industry can attract and retain top talent.”
“When employees experience genuine workplace inclusion, businesses can expect a strong predictor for success,” says Kevin McKenna, Vice President & Chief Insights Officer, Great Place to Work Institute. “We recognize leading organizations who have developed and continually employ workplace excellence strategies, coupled with diversity and inclusiveness initiatives, to help elevate their company’s brand in the marketplace and seek out top talent.”
This partnership with Great Place to Work Institute comes on the heels of another important alliance that EFC recently formed with Electricity Human Resources Canada. Through these alliances, EFC is committed to working closely with the Great Place to Work Institute and Electricity Human Resources Canada to help EFC members champion workplace excellence as well as diversity and inclusion initiatives within their organizations, ultimately elevating the Canadian electricity industry’s competitive advantages in attracting and retaining top talent.
