Wireless carriers shut out of “2010 Best Workplaces in Canada”

The annual “2010 Best Workplaces in Canada” list has been released. The list is a combined effort by the Great Place to Work Institute and The Globe and Mail. Employees complete a survey that measures the level of trust, pride, and camaraderie within your workplace… 75 organizations were recognized and the top prize this year went to PR firm Environics Communications. Unfortunately NONE of the Canadian wireless carriers made the cut.

  1. Colour me unsurprised. I don’t work for a cellphone company but what I’ve gathered they treat their employees much the same as their customers.

  2. I think the only provider that should be in the running is Telus, not based on personal experience but from friends that are employees.

  4. I think it’s more about which polls you read. There are several out there.

    Case in point: SaskTel has been named one of the Top 100 Employers in Canada for each of the past 10 years, according to a list managed by eluta and published in/with the Globe and Mail and Maclean’s magazine.

  6. I took a really quick look, but are there any retailers on that list?

    It is a well known fact that a company with retail outlets will always have employees that pull down the overall results.
