The Canadian Canola Growers Association(CCGA) was recently named one of Manitoba's top employers by the organizers of the annual Canada's Top 100 Employers project.
This is the third time CCGA has been given the award and Rick White, the President and CEO of CCGA says it speaks to the work they do within the organization.
"We're very proud of having that recognition for CCGA. What it means is we are on track and in tune with our employees. We make this a concerted effort to make CCGA an attractive place for employees, where they want to work, and then balance that off with happy employees and productive employees."
White says the benefit is not only to their employees but also to the farmers that CCGA serves.
"It works both for the employees we have here, and has benefits to the organization and the farmers that we actually serve, because our mandate is to help farmer succeed, and we do that with excellent staff, and this recognizes that we're on the right track with our staff."
Employers were judged on workplace, work atmosphere, benefits, vacation and time off, employee communications, performance management, training and development, and community involvement.
