EDMONTON, AB, April 26,
2022 /CNW/ - CWB Financial Group (CWB) is proud to be
recognized as number 20 on this year's Best Workplaces™ in
Canada. Receiving the honour among
hundreds of participating employers headquartered in Canada, it marks the third straight year that
CWB has placed within the top 50, and the first time it has climbed
into the top 20, moving up from number 28 in 2021. Our continued
rise on this list, after premiering in 2020, is powered by a people
first culture that ensures our employees be and feel heard,
promotes inclusivity and diverse viewpoints, and inspires
collaboration and innovation on our way to becoming the best
full-service bank for business owners in Canada.
"This award is for our over 2,600 employees across Canada who continue to find new ways to go
above and beyond for each other and our clients," said Chris Fowler, CWB's President and Chief
Executive Officer. "Our values drive us to constantly seek feedback
and suggestions from our teams before developing plans, and while
we're proud of how our people responded through COVID-19, our focus
now turns to designing the future of work at CWB. That includes
implementing the flexibility and collaboration that all of our
employees are asking for, while continuing to meet our clients'
needs. People want to be present for the connections that count
most, and many prioritize a healthy work-life balance now more than
ever. As we expand CWB's presence across Canada, enhancing our people first culture
will be essential in strengthening CWB's position as a destination
for top talent."
The 2022 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 and represents multiple industries and sizes of
organizations. Seventy-five percent of each organization's score is
based on confidential employee feedback, from the globally
recognized Trust Index® Survey. The remaining twenty-five percent
is based on quality, quantity and effectiveness of the programs and
policies which support their employees and corporate culture.
Together, they provide crucial data relative to five trust-building
dimensions: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.
This year's list captures the experience and sentiment of 130,000
employees, rolling out to impact over 500,000 Canadian
employees.
