MONTREAL, Jan. 30, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - Canada's Top 100 Employers has named McKesson Canada one of Montreal's best places to work for the third consecutive year.
"We are extremely proud that McKesson has been recognized as a top employer in Montreal. This recognition reflects the engagement and leadership of our team members who drive our commitment to being one of the best places to work in health care," said Domenic Pilla, CEO, McKesson Canada.
McKesson regularly assesses our culture, talent, and people-related initiatives to think about how we can stay materially ahead of benchmarks like Canada's Top Employers. We don't simply want to meet the standard, we aspire to lead.
In 2019, McKesson Canada introduced a number of new and innovative tools to help employees grow their career, grow the company, and feel empowered to contribute their very best every day. This work includes launching an online mentoring platform "McKesson Café" powered by Ten Thousand Coffees to connect employees to senior leaders for coaching and advice on how to take risks, build a personal brand and accelerate their career. Additionally, we've launched a dedicated employee resource group to promote, develop, and advance employees connected by shared cultures, backgrounds, and interests. Both initiatives strive to remove workplace barriers and cultivate a culture of diversity and inclusion.
"Recruiting, retaining, and growing talent through a culture of engagement is a business imperative. We're focused on enabling our colleagues to bring their best selves to work as we deliver on our promise of improving healthcare in every setting; one product, partner, and patient at a time," said Brian McLaughlin, Senior Vice-President and Chief Human Resources Officer. "We aim to promote a flexible, inclusive, and dynamic work environment because it both the smart thing and the right thing to do."

About Montreal's Top Employers
First published in 2006, Montreal's Top Employers is a special designation that recognizes employers in Greater Montreal that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work. Employers were evaluated by the editors at Canada's Top 100 Employers using the same criteria as the national competition: (1) Physical Workplace; (2) Work Atmosphere & Social; (3) Health, Financial & Family Benefits; (4) Vacation & Time Off; (5) Employee Communications; (6) Performance Management; (7) Training & Skills Development; and (8) Community Involvement. Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offer the most progressive and forward-thinking programs. The annual competition is open to any employer with its head office located in Greater Montréal; employers of any size may apply, whether in the private- or public-sector.
