Background
Now entering its eighth year, Greater Toronto's Top Employers is an annual competition organized by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers. This special designation recognizes the Greater Toronto employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work. This year's winners were announced in a special editorial supplement published by The Globe and Mail on November 20, 2012.
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 newspaper partner on Greater Toronto's Top Employers is The Globe and Mail, which announced our 2013 winners on November 20, 2012. The Globe's editors and reporters develop stories on the winning employers, which are selected by our editorial team.
Eligibility Requirements
Any employer with its head office or principal place of business in the Greater Toronto Area may apply for this competition. For ease of reference, we define Greater Toronto to include the City of Toronto and the Regional Municipalities of York, Halton, Peel and Durham. Employers of any size may apply, whether private or public sector.
