FAQs
What is Canada's Workforce Choice Awards?
Canada's Workforce Choice Awards, presented by BOWEN Group, is the first awards show of its kind in Canada, inviting all members of the workforce, whether they be seasonal, summer student, freelance, contract, temporary, part-time or full-time, to nominate the best workplaces in Canada, across all industries.
The awards honour outstanding companies in eight categories: Diversity & Inclusion, Indigenous Engagement, Innovation, Workplace Culture & Engagement, Future Sustainability, Community Connection, Women’s Advancement, and Health, Wellness & Safety.
What kind of companies can be nominated?
Any outstanding Canadian company demonstrating excellence in Diversity & Inclusion, Indigenous Engagement, Innovation, Workplace Culture & Engagement, Future Sustainability, Community Connection, Women’s Advancement, and Health, Wellness & Safety.
Who is eligible to nominate a company?
To nominate a company, an individual must have been employed in Canada as a seasonal, summer student, contract, freelance, temporary, part-time or full-time employee at the nominated company within the past two years (2017-2019).
How to you submit a nomination?
Nominations can be completed and submitted online by visiting the Nominate page.
When is the deadline to nominate?
The deadline to nominate a company is August 1, 2019 at 11:59 PM MST.
How does a company get nominated?
An organization is nominated when a current or recent worker (seasonal, summer student, contract, freelance, temporary, part-time or full-time employee) votes for the company as one of Canada’s best workplaces by completing the survey on the Nominate page.
How are winners chosen?
Winners will be chosen based on the nominations of the most qualified workplace judges: contractors and employees like you.
The winners are selected based on the rankings and comments provided by all members of the workforce, not simply on the number of nominations submitted. Workers can nominate their employer in one or several of the eight award categories. We encourage employers to gain as many votes as possible.
When are winners announced?
Winners will be announced October 1, 2019 at the Canada's Workforce Choice Awards show. To purchase tickets, visit the Event page.
What are the benefits of receiving the award?
Canada's Workforce Choice Awards recognize leading companies in workforce engagement and performance. They serve to validate the remarkable work that goes into building an exceptional workplace, and they broadcast your organization’s priorities to current and future team members.
Recipients are presented with a commemorative award and publicly acknowledged for their excellence. They also enjoy the right to use the Workforce Awards emblem in their corporate, marketing and communications materials.
