With so much emphasis on hiring and retaining talent, it’s important to keep up with the latest in HR trends and best practices.
OBJ is encouraging local employers to take part in this year’s Best Places to Work program, which recognizes employers in Ottawa that are making their workplaces great. It’s a joint project of the Ottawa Business Journal and the Ottawa Board of Trade, in partnership with Workforce Research Group.

Participating organizations must be publicly or privately held; for-profit, not-for-profit, or a government organization; have a physical operation in Ottawa; have at least 15 full- or part-time employees working in Ottawa; and have been in business for at least one year.
