Mississauga Company Makes Important List of Canada’s Best Employers

It’s important to love where you work, and while following your passion and getting paid well are factors in that, there are certain things an employer can do to make a workplace even better. 

Like being diverse and inclusive!

Canada’s Best Diversity Employers 2018 list has officially been released, and one Mississauga company has made the list. 

HP Canada Co. is the prestigious Mississauga winner. 

A total of 70 companies from across Canada make up this list, announced recently by the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project.

The list recognizes leaders in creating inclusive workplaces from diverse groups such as women, visibile minorities, people with disabilities, Aboriginal people, and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. It includes employers both large and small that are based in Canada.

“The conversation has evolved immensely since the inception of the Canada’s Best Diversity Employers competition over ten years ago,” said Kristina Leung, Senior Editor at the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project, in a recent statement. “The focus for many organizations today is to cultivate diversity-of-thought and create an environment in which individuals have an equal opportunity to contribute, advance, and voice their opinions and perspectives.” 

“Several employers on this year’s list are also focused on shifting perceptions of disabilities,” adds Leung. “They are reframing the conversation to the employment possibilities, rather than what’s not possible, whether it’s mental health, intellectual disabilities or accessibility.”
