As the global authority on workplace culture, Great Place to Work determines the Best Workplaces based on direct feedback from surveying employees. The 2021 winners in Canada have risen to tremendous challenges in amazing ways by putting their people first.

And in addition to improved internal communications, the HR team organized ongoing engagement activities to bring employees together. This has included cooking competitions, virtual escape rooms, a holiday desk decorating competition, weekly virtual happy hours, lunchtime Netflix movie parties, and much more.
“Putting our people first has always been our top priority,” says Patrick Golec, Founding Partner and Vice President of Human Resources for Bits In Glass. “We’re honoured to be recognized as a Best Workplace in Canada for the initiatives we’ve taken on over the past year, many of which we’ll be continuing long after COVID-19 to ensure our team is always informed, supported, and appreciated.”
