EDMONTON, April 17, 2020 /CNW/ - CWB Financial Group (TSX:

Workplaces™ in Canada, placing 41
out of 400 participating organizations headquartered in
Canada in its first year in the

The 2020 Best Workplaces™ in Canada list is compiled by the Great Place to
Work® Institute. The competition process is
based on two criteria: two-thirds of the total score comes from
confidential employee survey results and the remaining one-third
comes 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.
More than 80,000 employees participated in the annual Trust
Index Survey© representing more than 400 companies and over 300,000
employees.
