Microsoft Canada was ranked number one for large organizations with 1000+ employees by Great Place to Work® Institute. Headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, (more than 50% of their workforce is in Toronto), Microsoft Canada has eight other sites across the country and more than 1,000 full-time people in sales, marketing, services and support. Leadership, gender diversity and an investment in people have been the focus of Microsoft Canada, and it clearly works in terms of creating a “Best Workplace”. At the Imagine Your Workplace conference, Microsoft Canada’s President Eric Gales expressed his joy in making it to number one, and shared his approach in an interview with Your Workplace on how to create a great workplace for employees.
