For the third consecutive year, Optimus SBR is being recognized as one of the Best Workplaces™ in Canada!

Our placement on the 2021 Best Workplaces™ in Canada list is a celebration of the tenacity and Bold Attitude our team possesses. The past year has been difficult for many of us, but we are incredibly proud of the commitment our employees have made in maintaining the culture that makes Optimus SBR a Great Place to Work.

The global pandemic caused us to adjust the delivery of some key culture activities but also created opportunities to get creative with “staying together while working apart”. We have developed programs that fully support our remote work environment, including major investments in mental health, proper virtual work etiquette guides, and a breadth of online social activities, such as talent shows, trivia, and our ever popular ‘Tuesday Talks’ series. Our people are our business, and our culture has continued to remain at the forefront during the pandemic to keep everyone safe and supported.

The 2021 Best Workplaces™ in Canada list is compiled by the Great Place to Work® Institute. The competition process to be ranked on this list is employee driven, based on two criteria: two-thirds of the total score comes from confidential employee survey results and the remaining one-third from an in-depth review of the organization’s culture. 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 five trust-building dimensions: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie. This year’s list captured the experience and sentiment of over 82,000 employees, rolling out to impact over 300,000 Canadian employees.
