Bennett Jones
TORONTO, October 18, 2012 - For 11 consecutive years, Bennett Jones has been ranked as one of the top 50 places to work in Canada. The "Best Employers in Canada" survey is conducted by AON Hewitt in partnership with Maclean's magazine.
In the 2013 survey, Bennett Jones has been ranked as the 3rd best place to work in Canada. It is the seventh consecutive year Bennett Jones has been in the top ten. Bennett Jones was again recently honoured as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers for 2013.
"To receive this honour for 11 years running is a testament of the mutual respect and culture of excellence that our lawyers and staff bring to Bennett Jones", says Hugh MacKinnon, Chairman & CEO.
Organizations were selected as Best Employers based primarily on confidential surveys from more than 185,000 Canadian employees that measured their level of engagement. According to Aon Hewitt's definition, employees are engaged when they “say, stay and strive”: they speak positively about the organization to others, are committed to remaining with their current employer, and are motivated by their organizations' leaders, managers, culture and values to go “above and beyond” to contribute to business success.
“Those organizations ranked highest on the list have employee engagement of close to 90 per cent,” said Neil Crawford, Aon Hewitt's leader of the Best Employers in Canada study. “That's an impressive accomplishment, particularly now when many parts of the Canadian economy are showing signs of recovery and employee attraction and retention is becoming more challenging.”
