BC's Top Employers

Profiling the employers in British Columbia that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work

Background
Now entering its sixth year, BC's Top Employers is an annual competition organized by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers. This special designation recognizes the British Columbia employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work.

Selection Process
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.

Editorial Partners
Our editorial partners on the BC's Top Employers project are the three largest newspapers in British Columbia: The Province, The Vancouver Sun, and the Victoria Times Colonist. Each fall, the three newspapers announce the winners in special editorial supplements, which also include our reasons for selecting each employer. This year's editorial features announcing BC's Top Employers were published in the Vancouver Sun, The Province and the Victoria Times Colonist on October 16-18, 2009.

Research Partner
The BC Human Resources Management Association is our research partner on the BC's Top Employers project. The BC HRMA works with us to help expand knowledge of best practices in recruitment and retention, both within the human resources profession and among the broader public.

Eligibility Requirements
