Siemens Canada, for the third year in a row, has been named one of Canada’s top 100 employers, reflecting the company’s focus to provide an excellent workplace and best-in-class practices for its 5,000 employees across Canada.  “Winning this award for the second year in a row is not only gratifying; it confirms we are investing in the right programs which deliver results. More importantly, it reaffirms our employees endorse what we are doing”, said Sean Walkinshaw, senior vice president, Human Resources, Siemens Canada.

Over the past few years, Siemens has redefined its culture by establishing three core values: Responsible; Excellent; and Innovative.  By following these values, the company has set the bar high for itself and believes it is on the right track for becoming an employer of choice both in Canada and around the globe.  According to Walkinshaw, “the war for talent has grown even fiercer than during the days of economic prosperity.  As companies begin to emerge from the economic crisis, they are raising the bar on talent as now, more than ever, it is apparent that people are truly an organization’s most valuable asset and the key to success.  For this very reason, we have invested a significant amount of time in the last few years listening to our employees subsequently designing and delivering programs based on their feedback.”
