Commissionaires Ranked One of Canada’s Best Employers of 2016: Forbes

Ottawa, ON, April 5,2016 – The Canadian Corps of Commissionaires has ranked among the top employers in Canada, according to Forbes’ list of Canada’s Best Employers of 2016.

Forbes, partnering with online statistics provider, Statista, surveyed more than 8,000 Canadian workers.  The resulting list includes 250 employers across 25 industries – ranging from corporate giants to community-based financial institutions to universities and government agencies. 

 Commissionaires ranked in the top quarter of the 250 employers, outranking other Canadian security services providers by a wide margin.

“We’re extremely proud to be recognized as one of Canada’s best employers, and to be the highest ranked security company among those surveyed,” said Bruce Belliveau, Chair of the National Business Management Committee, Commissionaires, and CEO of Commissionaires Nova Scotia.

The workers surveyed were asked to determine, on a scale of zero to 10, how likely they were to recommend their employer to someone else and what they thought about the other employers in their industry.
