Manitoba’s best employers are leveraging the province’s economic advantages to create better workplaces and progressive human resource policies, according to the annual Manitoba’s Top Employers list released today.
The 2025 winners, announced by Mediacorp Canada Inc., highlight organizations that are embracing workplace flexibility, expanded health benefits and lifelong learning initiatives while maintaining a strong tradition of community involvement.
“Manitoba’s economy has long been supported by industries like financial services, aerospace and energy,” said Richard Yerema, executive editor of the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project. “What’s exciting today is seeing these organizations adopt more progressive practices while holding onto their tradition of supporting local communities.”
With Manitoba’s renewable hydroelectric power providing cost stability for major industries, employers are also investing in training and skills development to prepare for the future of work. Many of this year’s winners offer tuition subsidies, upskilling opportunities and internal training programs to help employees adapt to evolving workplace demands.
“Manitoba’s leading employers recognize that preparing for the future isn’t just about technology,” Yerema said. “It’s about investing in people and the communities they serve.”
The annual competition, now in its 19th year, evaluates employers based on eight criteria, including workplace atmosphere, benefits, time off policies, employee communications, performance management and community involvement. The full list of winners, along with detailed reasons for their selection, was published today in a special magazine distributed online through the Winnipeg Free Press and Eluta.ca.
