Employees volunteer to plant trees for Aviva Canada's first annual climate day initiative.
This year marks the 18th annual edition of the Greater Toronto's Top Employers competition, which has become the benchmark in the Greater Toronto Area for workplace best-practices. Like the metropolitan area it represents, the competition has become exceptionally strong and competitive — so much so that, for Toronto-area employers, the minimum scores to secure a place on the GTA list routinely rank among the highest in the nation. The 2024 winners were announced on December 5, 2023 in a special magazine distributed with The Globe and Mail.
