You’ll be hard pressed to find a leader who says purpose doesn’t matter. But you’ll be equally hard pressed to find leaders who treat purpose as a business imperative — unless you’re one of Canada’s Best Workplaces, where purpose is prioritized.  

Each year, Great Place to Work recognizes the Best Workplaces in Canada based on direct feedback from their employees on levels of trust within their organizations. This years’ winners have found that the way to inspire, engage, and retain their people lies in purpose: providing employees with work that is more than “just a job.”
