StarTech.com Named to the List of Top 50 Best Small and Medium Employers in Canada!
London, ON (January 14th, 2009) - StarTech.com is pleased to be named among the Top 50 Best Small and Medium Employers in Canada. The annual survey was conducted by Queen's Centre for Business Venturing at the Queen's School of Business and Hewitt Associates, a global human resources services company, in partnership with The Globe and Mail. The rankings were based on the results of surveys of employee engagement and effective human resources practices.
“Being included in this prestigious list of the top small and medium employers in Canada is a tremendous honour for StarTech.com,” said Paul Seed, StarTech.com’s President and co-owner.
“Achieving this honour was definitely a team effort. My partner Ken Kalopsis and I both strongly believe in the need to create a positive work environment but it is the employees that make it happen. We developed a winning statement a couple of years ago that states “Excite Customers. Succeed. Have Fun!” and I believe that living this statement every day is what allowed us to achieve this great honour,” continued Mr. Seed.
Becoming a Top Best Small and Medium Employer is a very detailed and competitive process. This national awards program recognizes top employers with between 50 and 400 employees. This study mirrors the renowned Best Employer in Canada initiative run by partner, Hewitt Associates; however, caters to smaller businesses.
The rankings are primarily determined using the results from Employee Opinion Surveys. Here, 18 key engagement drivers are detailed and analyzed. The evaluation process also includes the assessment of organization practices and perspectives from the leadership team. This year, more than 250 companies across Canada registered to participate in the study. Study partners include Queen's School of Business, Queen’s Centre for Business Venturing and Hewitt Associates.
