A panel of three senior executives from companies ranked among the Best Workplaces in Canada 2008. The list was published in the Globe and Mail on April 28, 2008. Organizations are ranked by a score derived from a survey of employees and a workplace culture audit. The Great Place to Work® Trust Index© is the primary selection criterion, which is based on five trust-building dimensions found in the best workplaces. These include credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie.
