BRAMPTON, ON, Nov. 21, 2012 /CNW/ - Gamma-Dynacare Medical Laboratories has been named, for the fifth consecutive year, as one of Greater Toronto's Top Employers by Mediacorp Canada, Inc.
"We are very excited to receive this recognition for the fifth straight year," said Naseem Somani, President and CEO, Gamma-Dynacare Medical Laboratories. "We are immensely proud of our employees, as it is through their dedication and passion that we have been able to establish Gamma-Dynacare as a leader in the Canadian laboratory sector."
The Greater Toronto Top Employers award recognizes employees with head offices or principal places of business in the Toronto area who are industry leaders at creating exceptional workplaces and attracting and retaining employees. The winners were selected from among the more than 2,000 workplaces who submitted an application to this year's national competition. Employers were evaluated based on a number of factors, including work atmosphere and communication, benefits, training and skills development and community involvement.
Gamma-Dynacare's submission highlighted the employee programs, learning and development opportunities, health and safety practices and corporate giving programs that help to create a collaborative and engaging work environment and demonstrate the company's ongoing commitment to its employees.
For the 2013 competition, Gamma-Dynacare was recognized by the judges for helping older workers prepare for life after work through contributions to a matching RSP plan, encouraging a work life balance, providing maternity and parental leave top-up payments to employees and managing an academic scholarship program for children of employees who pursue post-secondary studies.
