OTTAWA, Nov. 7, 2017 /CNW/ - Today Export Development Canada (EDC) was named among Canada's Top 100 Employers.

The annual ranking was released today by Mediacorp Inc., a specialty publisher of employment-related periodicals, and published in the Globe and Mail.
"Growing Canadian trade and bringing more of Canada to the world is no small task, and it takes quality people who are engaged and motivated – day-in and day-out – to make it happen. That's why at EDC we take pride in being a top employer, because people are at the very foundation of what we do," said Stephanie Butt Thibodeau, Senior Vice-President of Human Resources, EDC.
"As an organization we strive to create a diverse and inclusive environment where employees from all walks of life can feel empowered to continuously improve how they work, learn and grow. To be recognized as a Top 100 employer confirms that we're heading in the right direction."
