I truly believe the way you treat your employees is how they will treat clients, and this approach has been instrumental to Citation Canada, formerly HRdownloads&rsquo;, success.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>This list of \u00ab\u00a0Best Workplaces in Canada\u00a0\u00bb is compiled by Great Place to Work\u00ae Institute Canada. The competition process is based on two criteria: two-thirds of the total score comes from a 58-statement survey completed by a random selection of employees, along with their open-ended comments about their organization; the remaining one-third of the score comes from an in-depth review of the organization&rsquo;s culture, including an evaluation of HR policies and procedures. This offers a comprehensive representation of the organization from an employee perspective and an overall portrait of the workplace culture. Together, they provide crucial data relative to the five trust-building dimensions of a great place to work\u00ae: credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Citation Canada, formerly HRdownloads, please visit our website at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citationcanada.com\">www.hrdownloads.com<\/a>.
