National Bank is One of Montreal's Top Employers for a Fourth Consecutive Year

MONTREAL, Feb. 6, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - National Bank is proud to once again be ranked among Montreal's Top Employers, a regional edition of Canada's Top 100 Employers presented by Toronto publisher Mediacorp Canada Inc. The regional edition was created in 2006 to recognize Montreal-based businesses that offer an exceptional work environment.

This is the fourth consecutive appearance on the list for National Bank. The Bank offers human resources practices attuned to employees' needs and expectations, thus providing a work environment where they can thrive.

"We are very proud to see our ongoing commitment to our employees recognized year after year. It is important for us to provide a work environment that motivates employees and helps them achieve their full potential. We are continually monitoring our human resources management practices to ensure they reflect our employees' needs," noted Lynn Jeanniot, Executive Vice-President - Human Resources and Corporate Affairs.

In addition to our corporate culture, social responsibility and financial strength are also assets that helped set National Bank apart once again in this year's rankings. National Bank was selected from among a group of over 3,250 participating companies.

Candidates may be named one of Montreal's Top Employers by participating in the annual Canada's Top 100 Employers competition and are judged on eight key areas including training and skills development, employee communications, performance management and community involvement.
