VENTERRA REALTY NAMED ONE OF THE 2022 BEST WORKPLACES™ FOR INCLUSION BY THE GREAT PLACE TO WORK® INSTITUTE
HOUSTON, Oct. 25, 2022 /CNW/ -- The Great Place to Work® Institute has named Venterra's Canada office one of the 2022 Best Workplaces™ for Inclusion based on the feedback Venterra team members provided in their Annual Employee Satisfaction Survey.
Each year, the Great Place to Work Institute® conducts the world's largest workplace study. Results from the Canada survey, which represent the voices of 500,000 employees across the country, are analyzed to recognize organizations for industry and demographic-specific Best Workplace™ lists. Given the far reach of the survey, Venterra was honored that its Canadian office's most recent results landed the organization among the 2022 Best Workplaces™ for Inclusion.
The company's second annual Canada survey results showed that a full 96% of team members feel Venterra is a great place to work. This led to Venterra's Canada Great Place to Work® "Certification" for a second time and its eligibility to be considered for this Best Workplace™ award.
To rank on the list, at least 90% of an organization's team members had to indicate they feel they are treated fairly regardless of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, age, or sexual orientation, and the "best" designation is based on colleague responses to inclusion-related Trust Index statements.
"Given our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, this award is particularly meaningful to us," said Venterra CEO, John Foresi. "We want every one of our Venterra colleagues to enjoy an inviting and inspiring environment, and recognitions like this can be directly attributed to every Venterra colleague who individually embraces our team-first, inclusive culture."
"An important driver of the innovation at Venterra has proven to be the varied cultures and industry backgrounds of our colleagues," added Venterra Chairman, Andrew Stewart. "We take the most pride in recognitions like this, which are directly related to how positively supported and welcomed our Venterra colleagues feel within the company. We are blessed to have a company culture that not only celebrates diversity but embraces it and allows it to fuel fresh, new business ideas."
Past recognitions from Venterra's Canada survey results include Best Workplaces™ for Today's Youth and the prestigious overall Best Workplaces ™ in Canada list.
