Top Workplaces Where Employees Thrive 2010 award winners honoured
 
KINGSTON, Ontario – The latest issue of Your Workplace magazine hits the streets this week honouring the Top Workplaces Where Employees Thrive.
 
The Thrive awards recognize organizations that have established dynamic and creative workplaces with a culture built on collaborative dialogue, trust, shared outcomes, tolerance, and teamwork.
 
Launched last year, the award is sponsored by Your Workplace, publisher of Canada’s leading national magazine dedicated to assisting progressive organizations in building and sustaining cultures where employees thrive.
 
Four companies were honoured this year with the award, presented at a gala awards dinner at the International Centre in Toronto. A fifth company received an honourable mention.
 
This year’s Top Workplaces Where Employees Thrive winners are:
 
LEVEL5
I Love Rewards
Chimpanzee
Ontario Hospital Association
 
Honourable Mention: Len Corcoran Excavating
 
“These organizations create environments where workers feel their input and effort is valued and respected,” says Your Workplace president and CEO Vera Asanin.
 
“These are places where contributions to improving workplace culture are motivated by leadership and management with input from personnel at every level,” she adds.
 
Your Workplace columnist Dr. Sandy Cotton provided the inspiration for the Thrive awards in a 2008 column which explored “The 10 Principles for a Healthy Workplace.”
 
For 2010, 21 companies were nominated as Workplaces Where Employees Thrive; 18 of these met the minimum criteria to be short-listed. Those 18 were invited to have their employees complete an on-line survey measuring employee engagement, administered by TalentMap. From these, the winners were determined by the judges based on overall results from nomination letters, letters of reference, and employee responses to the survey.
