Why Best Employers?

Employees determine which organization are the Best employers.

Ranking is primarily based on employee engagement scores. We've gone to those best qualified to judge which employers deserve to be recognized as "the best."

These studies have longevity.

The Best Employers in Canada study (since 2000) and the Best Small & Medium employers in Canada study (since 2005) have produced a solid database of comparative information from hundreds of Canadian organizations.

Recognition

Organizations named as Best Employers receive recognition in Profit magazine, as well as full use of the BSME logo for the year they have ranked, for use in all of your marketing materials. Participant data is also used to determine various specialized lists (e.g. Best Employers in the GTA, The Green 30)

Participation is free.

All participants, regardless of ranking, receive a complimentary report profiling their organization's employee survey results that benchmark them against the year's Best Employers. Should you wish more in-depth results which highlight areas at your organization you would need to focus on to drive employee engagement higher, a full range of reporting options are available for purchase.

Our engagement experts collect the data, analyze your results and provide you with a solid foundation for positive and lasting organizational change.

The Best Employers studies are truly research-based.

Each year, the survey instruments include questions that gather information on a current human resources "hot topic." The results are available to all survey participants.

Low employee engagement hurts your organization.

Employers are struggling to attract and retain the skilled talent they need to accomplish business objectives. One measure - employee engagement - provides insight into how well an organization has captured the "hearts and minds" of its employees.

The The Best Employers in Canada and the Best Small & Medium Employers in Canada studies offer your organization the opportunity to be more than a name on a list. While the accomplishments of the Best Employers do gain public recognition both nationally and regionally, participation enables you to measure employee engagement and compares your results to the year's Best Employers.

"Achieve and maintain high employee engagement.
Experience a greater ability to attract and retain key talent, higher employee productivity and better business results."

Industry-specific benchmarking is also available. And, when you participate annually, you'll be able to measure your year-over-year progress. More importantly, you receive actionable results and information. You'll understand where to focus your efforts to drive the greatest improvement in engagement.
