Ottawa, June 4, 2024 —For the fifth consecutive year, BioTalent Canada has been honoured with the distinction of being certified as a Great Place to Work®. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and enthusiasm of a team dedicated to creating a strong and resilient bio-economy in Canada.
“Being recognized once more as one of Canada’s premier workplaces is truly an honour,” states Rob Henderson, President and CEO of BioTalent Canada. “Our dedicated team consistently strives to showcase the remarkable individuals shaping Canada’s bio-economy. This acknowledgment reaffirms the value of their tireless efforts, filling us with immense pride.”
BioTalent Canada’s ongoing research underscores the importance of organizations that prioritize a robust work-life balance, champion diversity, equity, and inclusion, foster teamwork and offer competitive benefits and equitable compensation. BioTalent Canada encourages organizations to foster IDEA (inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility) in their workplace through the I.D.E.A.L. Bioscience EmployerTM recognition program. Workplaces can also ramp up their professional development strategies with the Essential Skills and Technical Skills Fundamentals courses. These courses are available free to all participants of the Student Work Placement Program. The program includes subsidies and courses that provide participants with the BioReady™ Edge and skills essential to employers.
“Establishing a vibrant, cohesive culture that empowers every voice to contribute towards a shared vision has positioned BioTalent Canada as a sought-after hub for talent,” emphasizes Henderson. “Our ongoing achievements stem from the power of collaboration and the open exchange of ideas among our team.”
The list is generated following a thorough and independent analysis conducted by Great Place to Work® and includes direct feedback from employees of the hundreds of Canadian organizations surveyed.
