The PEER Group Inc., an international supplier of factory automation software and services for the semiconductor, automotive, electronics and life sciences industries announced today that it is being recognized as one of this year's 50 Best Workplaces in Canada. This list, and related stories, will appear in a special national report on Monday April 28th, 2008 in the Globe and Mail.
PEER Group is committed to creating a great work environment—and that starts with the people. We all feel this, almost every day. From the creation of innovative solutions and support for our customers' success, to the outpouring of love and support for people we work with who are in need, it's clear that we work with a special group of people.

This list of “Best Workplaces in Canada” is compiled by Great Place to Work® Institute Canada. The competition process is based on two criteria: two-thirds of the total score comes from a 57-statement survey completed by a random selection of employees, along with their open-ended comments about their organization; the remaining one-third of the score comes from an in-depth review of the organization's culture, including an evaluation of HR policies and procedures. This offers a rigorous representation of the organization from an employee perspective, and an overall portrait of the workplace culture. Together, they provide crucial data relative to the five trust-building dimensions of a great place to work: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.
More than 24,000 employees participated in the 2008 “Best Workplaces in Canada” survey.
