SASKATCHEWAN’S Top Employers



I always encourage job seekers to do research as part of their job search process. And that would include research on how well employers treat their employees.  A tool job seekers may wish to use is the SASKATCHEWAN’S Top Employers guide.

The SASKATCHEWAN’S Top Employers guide a joint venture between Postmedia Network Inc. and Mediacorp Canada Inc. is an annual competition organized by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers. This special designation recognizes the Saskatchewan employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work.

Employers are evaluated by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers using the same eight criteria as the national competition: (1) Physical Workplace; (2) Work Atmosphere & Social; (3) Health, Financial & Family Benefits; (4) Vacation & Time Off; (5) Employee Communications; (6) Performance Management; (7) Training & Skills Development; and (8) Community Involvement. Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offers the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.

The 2013 winners were announced in a special newspaper supplement published in the Leader-Post and The StarPhoenix on February 6, 2013.  Download a pdf of the supplement at: http://www.canadastop100.com/sk/sk2013.pdf
