Even as Canada weathers economic turbulence, its competition for top talent remains fierce , with employers looking to maintain efficiency and productivity and remain attractive to candidates.

Canada’s employees are in the best position to say which companies and organizations are offering the strongest opportunities—so we asked them.

Working with online statistics provider Statista, Forbes asked more than 8,000 Canadian workers to determine, on a scale of zero to 10, how likely they were to recommend their employer to someone else. Further, how did they feel about the other employers in their industry?

The resulting list includes 250 employers across 25 industries–ranging from corporate giants to community-based financial institutions to universities and government agencies–where employees feel right at home at the office.

That sense of employer-generated well-being is more important than ever right now as Canada weathers a commodities-driven dip.

Full Methodology

The 250 employers featured here were chosen based on the results of independent survey conducted among 8,000 Canadians employers working at large companies and institutions. Employees were contacted anonymously online without the involvement of their employer. Respondents included in this sample are representative of the Canadian workforce by gender, age, region, education, and ethnicity.
