Egg Farmers of Canada has been named one of the National Capital Region’s Top Employers for the 13th consecutive year, highlighting its commitment to workplace culture and employee well-being.
The designation, awarded by Mediacorp Canada, recognizes employers in the Ottawa-Gatineau region that provide exceptional workplaces and strong human resources practices. Egg Farmers of Canada was selected for its employee-focused policies, which include a comprehensive benefits package, paid time off for volunteering, and professional development opportunities.
Drew Black, the organization’s chief executive officer, credited the achievement to its employees. “Our corporate culture and the sense of community we nurture in our workplace is one of the keys in our ability to meet challenges and deliver on our mission,” Black said. “We have a strong and capable team, and it’s their hard work and dedication that has once again earned us this tremendous honour.”
The organization, which employs more than 70 full-time staff, has recently introduced greater workplace flexibility, allowing employees to adjust work hours and substitute other denominational holidays for statutory holidays such as Christmas or Easter. The changes were made in response to employee feedback.
Egg Farmers of Canada has also been recognized nationally for its workplace culture. It is part of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures™ Hall of Fame, a designation awarded by Waterstone Human Capital.
