Announcing the Progressive Employers of Canada List

Working moms across Canada are applauding the “mom-friendly” employers selected for the inaugural 2009 Progressive Employers of Canada List. The list, featuring diverse companies from a variety of industries, recognizes employers that offer flexibility, supportive leadership and progressive programs for working parents and their families.

Connect Moms, momcafé and Lisa Martin International (founder of the Briefcase Moms Program), initiated the 2009 Progressive Employers of Canada List after conducting a nationwide survey last year asking moms what they were looking for in a workplace of choice. We are very pleased to be able to announce the list for 2009.

The Progressive Employers of Canada List is unique as the criteria selection was designed and developed by working moms across Canada via surveys and an open nomination process instead of a closed executive judicial committee like many other employer lists. Detailed corporate profiles highlighting each company’s progressive work environment are available in our top employers section.
