CAA SCO among top employers in GTA

TORONTO, Nov. 22 /CNW/ - CAA South Central Ontario (CAA SCO) is in good company — the best in the GTA actually.

In a recent study conducted by Mediacorp Ltd., CAA SCO ranked among the top employers in the GTA — and has been recognized through the Greater Toronto's Top Employers for 2011 annual list. CAA SCO was also included on the 2010 list of top employers.

"We are proud to have been selected once again for this list. It's our employees and the culture we've built that make CAA SCO such a great place to work," said Nick Parks, President and CEO, CAA SCO.

The annual Top Employers list provides transparency as well as guidance to employers and job-seekers across the country. The recruitment histories of more than 75,000 employers across Canada are examined and the top 16,000 employers are invited to apply.

"The fact that CAA SCO has made this list again speaks volumes about valuing our employees and our practices in attracting and retaining the most talented people in the region," Mary Duncan, Vice President, Human Resources, CAA SCO.

Employers looking to make the top employers list undergo appraisal using eight criteria: Physical Workplace, Work Atmosphere & Social, Health, Financial & Family Benefits, Vacation & Time Off, Employee Communications, Performance Management, Training & Skills Development and Community Involvement.
