The CSL Group has been named one of Montreal’s Top Employers for the eighth consecutive year, the marine shipping company announced March 17.
The recognition comes from Mediacorp Canada Inc., which runs the annual competition honouring companies in the Montreal area that offer exceptional workplaces.
CSL also recently received a second designation: one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People, for the fifth year in a row.
Focus on learning and development
The Montreal-based company says its workplace approach centres on giving employees room to grow. Flexible work arrangements, wellness programs, and training and career development opportunities are all part of that effort.
Stéphanie Aubourg, Chief Human Resources Officer at CSL, credited employees for driving the recognition.
“Every day, our employees bring curiosity, teamwork, and a real sense of pride to their work,” Aubourg said. “This recognition really belongs to them. It reflects the way our people support one another and continuously look for ways to grow and improve.”
Aubourg said knowledge-sharing is a defining feature of the company’s culture.
“One of the things that stands out at CSL is how willing people are to share what they know,” she said. “If someone is curious or interested in learning something new, there is always a colleague ready to help.”
Industry at a turning point
CSL says employees are drawn to the company in part because of its focus on responsible shipping and community involvement.
Aubourg said the company sees opportunity ahead as the industry changes.
“Shipping is evolving quickly, and there is so much opportunity ahead,” she said. “For people who want to be part of an industry that keeps the world’s cargo moving and is working toward a more safe and sustainable future, it’s an exciting time to join CSL.”
CSL is headquartered in Montreal and operates across the Americas, Australia, Europe, and Africa. The company describes itself as the largest owner and operator of self-unloading ships in the world, delivering millions of tonnes of cargo annually to customers in the construction, steel, energy, and agri-food sectors.
