Leaders at Mackenzie Investments, Laurentian Bank, and iA Groupe financier Among Top Ten Chief Executives
MILL VALLEY, Calif., June 16, 2021 /CNW/ -- Glassdoor, the worldwide leader in insights about jobs and companies, today announced the winners of its Employees' Choice Awards, honoring the Top CEOs in 2021 across North America and parts of Europe. Unlike any other workplace award, the Glassdoor Employees' Choice Awards are based on the input of employees who voluntarily provide anonymous feedback by completing a company review about their CEO's leadership, along with insights into their job, work environment and employer over the past year.
This year, the Glassdoor Employees' Choice Awards for the Top CEOs feature six distinct company categories across the U.S., Canada, UK, France and Germany. In Canada, Glassdoor has revealed the 25 Top CEOs in 2021 (honoring CEOs at employers with 1,000 or more employees).
"Over the past year, company leaders around the world faced unprecedented challenges to support employees during the COVID-19 crisis. Now, the employees have spoken and it's clear that these CEOs excelled and found new ways to support their people when the world of work flipped upside down," said Christian Sutherland-Wong, Glassdoor chief executive officer. "Through a challenging year, it's inspiring to see Top CEOs who, according to their employees, adapted to change, redefined visions and led with transparency while putting the health and safety of employees first. I extend my sincerest congratulations to this year's Employees' Choice Award winners."

When employees submit reviews about their employer on Glassdoor, they are asked to rate several factors tied to their employment experience. These include rating sentiment around their CEO's leadership as well as around senior management, among others. Specifically, when rating their CEO on Glassdoor, employees are asked to report whether they approve or disapprove of or have no opinion about their CEO's performance.
Across the approximately 1.5 million employers reviewed on Glassdoor, the average CEO approval rating is 73 percent.
Employees' Choice Award winners for the 2021 Top CEOs in Canada are determined using Glassdoor's proprietary algorithm, taking into account the quantity, quality and consistency of Glassdoor-approved company reviews shared by employees between May 2, 2020 and May 1, 2021. At a minimum, employers considered for the large list must have received at least 25 company reviews, including at least 25 CEO approval ratings and at least 25 senior management ratings. For reporting simplicity, CEO approval ratings are displayed as whole numbers, though calculations extend beyond the thousandth decimal place to determine final rank order.
