Winners of Prestigious Canada Awards For Excellence

Award-winning organizations enjoy expanded market share, increased efficiency, enhanced competitiveness, and talent retention across key business lines In October Your Workplace magazine attended the National Quality Institute’s Gala award presentation and dinner in Toronto. More than 600 people from organizations across Canada caused the walls to quiver with excitement that permeated the room. Front-line workers to CEOs proudly embraced their award as they took the stage. The Canada Awards for Excellence (CAE) is an annual awards program that recognizes Canadian organizations, which, through a commitment to innovation, productivity, healthy workplace, and ethics, have demonstrated sustainable measures of continuous improvement. Recipient organizations have reported expanded market share, increased efficiency, enhanced international competitiveness, reduced costs, higher employee retention, and increased productivity. National Quality Institute’s (NQI) research shows that private sector recipients dramatically out-perform the TSE, S&P and the Dow Jones consistently over time. “The National Quality Institute is very pleased to be recognizing 20 outstanding organizations in the private and public sectors that will be receiving a Canada Award for Excellence for Quality, Healthy Workplace, Healthcare, Customer Service or Education,” says Allan Ebedes, President and CEO of NQI and Canada Awards for Excellence. “These organizations are outstanding role models of organizational effectiveness, and are making enormous contributions to the standard of living of Canadians and to the growth of the Canadian economy.” Since 1984, the Canada Awards for Excellence (CAE) have been presented annually to private and public sector organizations of all sizes that have displayed outstanding performance in the areas of Quality and Healthy Workplace. In 2004, the Small Business and Education award categories were introduced, and in 2006 the Order of Excellence was introduced.
