Statista Unveils Canada’s 250 Best Employers List in Partnership with Forbes

NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2016 – Today, Statista, one of the leading statistics companies on the internet, announced the launch of Canada’s Best Employers list in partnership with Forbes. Canada’s five best employers are BC Hydro, Vancity, ABB, Ubisoft, and Costco. Statista and Forbes conducted an extensive survey to discover Canada’s 250 best employers. The ranking indicates Canadians’ trust and passion for their domestic companies: 70% of the Top 50 were Canadian companies. Native Canadian companies also ranked number one and two in the survey. Who else made it to the top of the list? The top 15 Canadian employers are shown in this infographic below.

The 250 Best Employers in Canada for 2016 were chosen across 25 industries based on an independent survey by Statista. 8,000 Canadian employees working for large firms (500+ employees) or institutions were asked if they would recommend their own employer or any other employers in their industry to a potential employee. To ensure the independence of the survey, the companies were not informed in advance. Statista also ensured that only permanent employees took part in the survey.

The ranking not only reveals the names of the best employers, but also the employee analyses behind the survey. The most satisfied Canadian employees work in the “Construction, Oil & Gas Operations, Mining and Chemicals” industry. Despite the physical and sometimes dangerous nature of this industry, it is still considered attractive for employees.

The complete list of the 250 best Canadian employers can be found online on www.forbes.com/canadas-best-employers.
