Job site Indeed released its first-ever list of the 25 best places to work in Canada Tuesday – a list which is dominated by financial institutions, airlines and health-care providers.

“If you look at the top five on the list… it is fairly diverse and if you go down to the bottom of the list, there are a lot of Canadian financial institutions,” says Jodi Kasten, managing director at Indeed Canada. “So I think what this list is telling us is that Canadian job seekers are really interested in a place of work that is all about [workplace] culture and how the environment makes them feel and that came through in a lot of the comments we read.”

In order to make the top 25 list, the company had to have had at least 50 employee reviews.

According to Kasten, company reviews have a big impact on where job seekers choose to apply, and what this list tells us is that if companies want to stand out, they need to invest in their reputation and employee experience.

“I think what employers can do is really think about what’s important and relevant for their employees in their industry and how they can create a work environment and culture where people are happy and engaged,” Kasten says.
