The Best Places to Work program recognizes organizations with 25 employees or more who demonstrate best practices in Atlantic Canada.  This year, Progress Magazine partnered with Best Companies Group in an effort to offer regional organizations the opportunity to elevate their workplaces. 

In an environment where recruitment in increasingly challenging, good employers recognize that an effective workplace has a real impact on their bottom line.  According to Peter Burke, president of Best Companies Group, “identifying outstanding employers is a very effective way of recognizing the importance of creating cultures where employees love to come to work. From recruiting advantages to increased morale, these organizations will enjoy many benefits from this prestigious distinction. All companies that participated also received the results of their employee survey, which will be used to help make their companies even better places to work.”
