“We’ve been working on this awards program for more than a decade and, quite frankly, I don’t think it has ever been more relevant,” says OBJ publisher Michael Curran. “The war for talent is on and this survey is a way for employers to measure how they stack up.”
To be eligible, you must meet the following criteria:
- at least 15 full- or part-time permanent employees working in Ottawa
- a physical operation in Ottawa
- a publicly or privately held organization
- a for-profit, not-for-profit, or a government organization
- at least one year in business
All employer and employee remains confidential. Results will be accessible to registered companies through an online dashboard.
Employers will receive results in late summer. The top ranked organizations will be profiled by OBJ and celebrated as part of the Ottawa Talent Summit, a conference scheduled for October.
