The Canada's Top 100 Employers
project is a national competition in which employers are evaluated
by the editors of the Canada's Top
100 Employers list, using eight criteria. The editors speak with
thousands of employers across Canada to determine which organizations offer
the most forward-thinking HR initiatives. Employers are compared to
other organizations in their field to determine which offers the
most progressive and forward-thinking programs. The winners are
announced each November in a special magazine published in The
