April 2009
PEOPLEsource Staffing Solutions is being recognized as one of this year’s Best Workplaces in Canada. This list, and related stories, appeared in a special national report on Monday April 6th, 2009 in The Globe and Mail.
PEOPLEsource is committed to creating a great place to work for it’s employees. They pride themselves on their open door policy where mentorship can be sought from any member of the Management Team, including the President and CEO’s. Their relaxed atmosphere encourages employees to socialize and build up creative juices. Everyone is encouraged to take ownership of and lead new initiatives. PEOPLEsource’s rich eclectic culture is what fosters their pride, trust and credibility in the organization. You cannot buy those. They invest in the growth and development of their employees through training, tuition reimbursement, learning plans, leadership conferences and mentorship and they retain their employees by creating an environment that ignites friendly competition yet cultivates team unity and rewards hard work.
This list of “Best Workplaces in Canada” is compiled by Great Place to Work® Institute Canada. The competition process is based on two criteria: two-thirds of the total score comes from a 57-statement survey completed by a random selection of employees, along with their open-ended comments about their organization; the remaining one-third of the score comes from an in-depth review of the organization’s culture, including an evaluation of HR policies and procedures. This offers a rigorous representation of the organization from an employee perspective, and an overall portrait of the workplace culture. Together, they provide crucial data relative to the five trust-building dimensions of a great place to work®: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.
This year’s list received over 230 nominations and approximately 30,000 employees (actual number is 29,812) participated in the 2009 “Best Workplaces in Canada” survey.
