PEER Group named a 2022 Best Workplace for Today’s Youth
Kitchener, Ontario – June 14, 2022
PEER Group® is proud to have been named to the 2022 list of Best Workplaces™ for Today’s Youth. The award was received following a thorough and independent analysis conducted by Great Place to Work® Canada (GPTW).
The list is based on direct feedback from employees at hundreds of organizations surveyed. To be eligible, organizations must be Great Place to Work Certified™ in the past year, at least 30 per cent of their employees must fit the Millennial or younger demographic, and they must have minimum 90 per cent positive response to the statement: “I am treated fairly regardless of my age.”
“Being a three-term co-op at PEER Group has been fantastic,” shares Kevin McCloy, whose experience at PEER Group includes roles in QA and software development. “I have always felt that my experience and perspective has been respected and appreciated by my team. I know my team has my back and will provide me the support, mentorship, and the accommodations I need to reach my full potential.”
“Receiving this award is recognition for the supportive and nurturing work environment we’ve created for our young employees,” says PEER Group’s Director of HR and Administration, Janice Retterath. “One way in which we ensure success in meeting new challenges is to match all new hires with a mentor who guides them through their onboarding process and ensures they integrate smoothly into their team and role. We are always excited to see what innovative ideas they will share with the group.”
Over the years, Great Place to Work has also recognized PEER Group as a Best Workplace in several individual categories.
