An Encore Performance! Cineplex Entertainment Recognized as One of Canada's Most Admired Corporate Cultures for the Second Time
TORONTO, Feb. 25, 2016 /CNW/ - (TSX: CGX) – Cineplex Entertainment ("Cineplex") is proud to announce that it has been named one of Canada's 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures of 2015 by Waterstone Human Capital. The annual program celebrates 10 organizations across four categories that have cultures that drive performance and contribute to the bottom line.
Profiled in a special feature in today's National Post, Cineplex is being recognized for its dedication to employee engagement initiatives, passion for the community and its strong leadership. An 'encore performance,' this is the second time this prestigious honour has been awarded to Cineplex.
"Our culture is centered around the belief that people drive our business forward so we have created a culture that provides opportunities for advancement and recognizes employees' efforts," said Ellis Jacob, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cineplex Entertainment. "This award is truly a testament to the strength and passion of our over 13,000 employees across Canada who help our guests to 'See The Big Picture' day in and day out."
In December, Cineplex launched a new integrated brand platform that asks Canadians to 'See The Big Picture' and rediscover the importance of entertainment in their lives. Launched with an animated short film that quickly went viral when it was posted online, 'See The Big Picture' has also become the new cornerstone for Cineplex's employee engagement activities and strategies, at both the corporate and theatre level.
Canada's 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures winning organizations were selected based on detailed submissions and a rigorous interview process. Cineplex and the other 2015 honourees will be celebrated at the Canada's Most Admired Summit and Awards event being held this evening at The Fairmont Royal York in Toronto.
