Who is Canada's best small or medium business employer?

For the first time, small and medium businesses will be able to compete for the title of Best Employers in Canada in the annual ranking of companies conducted by Hewitt Associates.

Organizations are now being sought to participate in the eighth annual study by the global human resources services firm, and Report on Business magazine.
The 2006 winners of the Hewitt survey will appear in the Spring issue of Report on [Small] Business magazine, included in the Globe and Mail on April 12. Meanwhile, the full list of 'Best Employers in Canada,' will be published in the Jan. 2007 issue of the Globe and Mail's Report on Business magazine and in the French daily newspaper La Presse.

The study will be conducted by Queen's School of Business and Queen's Centre for Business Venturing in conjunction with Hewitt Associates.
'We are excited by the addition of a small and mid-size organizations list to this prestigious ranking, as all Canadian organizations - regardless of their size - can now see how they stack up against the Best Employers in the country,' said Hewitt Associates' Neil Crawford, leader of the 'Best Employers in Canada' study.

'Many organizations leverage this list as an opportunity to learn what other organizations are doing and work on ways to enhance their own human resources and people programs.'

Companies with 50-399 Canadian-based permanent employees are eligible for the Best Small & Medium Employers in Canada study. The study is free to enter and is open to all employers that meet these criteria, whether public or private sector, charitable or not-for-profit.

Registration closes at the end of May. All participants, regardless of ranking, will receive complimentary access to Hewitt's Engagement Check-Up website to view their individual results benchmarked against those of the year's Best Employers.
