National Capital Region's Top Employers

Profiling the employers in Canada's National Capital Region that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work

Background
Now entering its sixth year, the National Capital Region's Top Employers is an annual competition organized by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers. This special designation recognizes the Ottawa-area 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 Partner
Our editorial partner on the National Capital Region's Top Employers project is the Ottawa Citizen, the largest newspaper in the National Capital Region. Each fall, the Citizen announces the winners in a special editorial supplement, which also includes our reasons for selecting each employer. This year's winners were announced in a special editorial feature published by the Ottawa Citizen on October 21, 2009. Read some of their coverage:
