KELOWNA, BC, Dec. 6, 2013 /CNW/ - (TSX-V: QHR) QHR Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of QHR Corporation ("QHR" or the "Company") a leader in the Canadian Healthcare Information Technology has been named one of only 50 employers on the Canada's Top Small & Medium Employers for 2014 list.

"For several years, we have noticed a growing number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that provide their employees with great benefits and valuable workplace perks," says Richard Yerema, Managing Editor of the Canada's Top 100 Employers project at Mediacorp Canada Inc. "Not only are these SMEs matching many of the workplace policies once found only at larger organizations, but their nimble size allows them to innovate and adapt new programs more quickly than larger employers."

QHR Corporation's President and CEO Al Hildebrandt, credits exceptional employees with a can-do attitude, broad human resource policies, social and community involvement and a fun work atmosphere as some reasons for the company's attractiveness as a top employer. Mr. Hildebrandt said, "Our people are the best in the industry and we endeavour to treat them well. We like what we do and take pride in making a difference with our customers and with our employees. It is a great honour to be recognized as a leading employer across all industries by this prestigious Canada's Top Employers project".

"This new competition recognizes the vital role that small and medium enterprises play in the working lives of most Canadians and the nation's economy," says Tony Meehan, Publisher at Mediacorp. "Small and medium enterprises employ almost two-thirds (63.7%) of private-sector employees in Canada and account for over half of the nation's gross domestic product."

Canada's Small & Medium Employers is organized by the editorial team at Canada's Top 100 Employers. This project recognizes small and medium enterprises across Canada leading the nation in creating exceptional workplaces with forward-thinking human resources policies. Employers are evaluated on eight criteria: (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.
