The ROB magazine's 50 Best Employers in Canada 2005 list is based on an annual survey of companies that includes input from employees and senior executives.
The goal of the survey is to identify top employers based on employee opinions, working environment, human resources and management practices, and leadership team.
"I am extremely proud that Carswell is receiving this public recognition for a second consecutive year," said Don Van Meer, Carswell's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Being chosen as a Best Employer is an honour that we all share as part of an exceptional organization. At Carswell, we have established a great place to work through the energy and commitment of our employees."
