TORONTO, April 27, 2017 /CNW/ - That's the spirit! Corby Spirit and Wine Ltd. has once again proven that it provides a truly outstanding working environment for its employees. For the sixth year running, Corby has been recognized as one of Canada's top workplaces by the Great Place to Work® Institute. The full list of Canada's 50 Best Workplaces was released today in a special report in The Globe and Mail.
"We are incredibly honoured to be selected as one of Canada's top workplaces once again," says Patrick O'Driscoll, Corby's President and CEO. "We recognize that offering a great working environment to our employees is absolutely vital – not only to their engagement levels, but also to achieving our overall business goals. This prestigious award is concrete evidence that our employees feel happy and proud to work at Corby."
Anonymous ratings from employees play a significant role in each company's ranking on the list. Results from the Great Place to Work survey conducted at Corby point to 5 key areas where the company excels: rewards & recognition, physical environment & resources, management competence & integrity, fun & cooperation, and learning & development.
Corby is committed to providing a working environment with opportunities and resources that enable employees to reach their full potential. Throughout the year, employees enjoy great perks like exclusive wine and spirits tastings, flexible working hours and half-day Fridays during the summer. Some highlights of Corby's most unique and award-winning workplace offerings include:
"Receiving this distinguished title once again is exciting, but it doesn't mean our job here is done," says Paul Holub, VP of Human Resources. "To continue our growth and success, we need to keep measuring results, listening to feedback, and reacting to our employees' needs. We are committed to building a culture where empathy, creativity, boldness, and collaboration are demonstrated throughout the company."
