Canada’s Top 100 Employers has just released its 20th annual list.

And if you’re not already working for one of these companies, you’re probably going to want to start looking into them soon.

“When I look back at our first list of winners two decades ago,” said Richard Yerema, Managing Editor of the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project at Mediacorp, “It’s hard to believe that the benefits and programs we wrote about then would be enough to put an employer past our first cut, let alone secure a place on today’s list. Through the project, you can actually see what the best vacation policies are, what the best parental leave policies are, and how they are changing. We’ve witnessed employers discovering where they could improve, making changes and becoming part of the list themselves.”

This year’s competition saw the largest number of employers to date take part in the selection process, according to Mediacorp. 10,000 employers were invited to submit detailed applications, including a comprehensive review of their operations and HR practices that compares them to others in their industry and region.

“The project’s enduring appeal owes much to the dramatic changes shaping Canadian society and our place in the world,” said Anthony Meehan, Publisher at Mediacorp.

“Technology and globalization have changed the nature of employment and have accelerated the pace at which organizations rise and fall – you need to attract talented employees more than ever to make sure your organization is the one driving change, not the one being driven out by new competitors.”

Employers were evaluated based on eight common pillars and then compared to similar organizations in their fields to figure out which company is doing the best. The eight pillars include:

Physical Workplace
Work Atmosphere & Social
Health, Financial & Family Benefits
Vacation & Time Off
Employee Communications
Performance Management
Training & Skills Development
Community Involvement
