London, ON – December 6, 2012 - StarTech.com is pleased to be named among the Best 50 Small and Medium Employers in Canada. The study, now in its 8th year, is published annually in PROFIT Magazine. This marks the third time that StarTech.com has been included in the Best Small and Medium Employers list and was the only London, ON based company on the 2013 list.
“We are honoured to be included in this prestigious list of employers once again,” said Paul Seed, StarTech.com’s President and CEO.
Mr. Seed continued, “StarTech.com has had a number of tremendous accomplishments in recent years but we are particularly proud of this one because it acknowledges our employees’ dedication to the company. We have an amazing, hard working team that has helped fuel StarTech.com’s growth and success. This recognition validates their effort and StarTech.com’s commitment to creating an environment where all team members can succeed and have fun.”
Becoming a Best Small and Medium Employer is a very detailed and competitive process. This national awards program recognizes top employers with between 50 and 399 employees. The program mirrors the renowned Best Employer in Canada list published in Maclean’s Magazine; however, caters to smaller businesses.
The rankings are primarily determined by using the results from Employee Opinion Surveys. The evaluation process also includes the assessment of organizational practices and perspectives from the leadership team. This year, more than 200 organizations across Canada participated in the study.
Study partners include Queen's School of Business, Queen’s Centre for Business Venturing and AON Hewitt. More information about the Best Small & Medium Employers in Canada is available online at http://bsmestudycanada.com
