It’s all about trust, recognition and camaraderie
hile the global pandemic may be fading in the rearview mirror, the world of work has forever changed. Ottawa’s top employers recognize that what were once perks, such as flexible hours and a hybrid work environment, are now essentials. And regardless of how they define “workplace,” the focus for Ottawa’s Best Places to Work is on building a team and a “family.” This means more than social nights or pizza lunches, but instead revolves around recognition, professional development and transparency about the business. Each of the companies in Ottawa’s Best Places to Work for 2023 has made a commitment to listening to employee feedback and investing in the well-being of staff. Whether in software development, construction, fundraising or real estate, all of the companies believe in a culture of transparency and acknowledging good work. —By Melanie Coulson
