As the pandemic trudges on, Canadians are taking stock of what they really want in a career and a workplace.

Thankfully, LinkedIn has narrowed down the list for job seekers.

The professional networking site revealed its list of top companies in Canada for 2022. The rankings specifically focus on 25 of the best workplaces to grow your career.

“These are the companies that are offering stability in our ever-changing world of work – the ones that are not only attracting employees, but retaining them,” LinkedIn explained in a news release.

Using LinkedIn data, the list ranks companies based on seven categories: the ability to advance, skills growth, company stability, external opportunity, company affinity, gender diversity and spread of educational backgrounds.

To be eligible for consideration, companies had to have at least 500 employees as of December 31, 2021, and employee resignations could be no higher than 10% over the research time period.

Companies with layoffs that amount to more than 10% of their workforce during the research period, based on public announcements, were also ineligible.

Whether you’re looking for a career change, want to learn new skills, or rejoining the workforce after a hiatus, here are LinkedIn’s top 25 companies for career growth in Canada.
