Optimus SBR has been recognized by the Great Place to Work® Institute as a 2022 Best Workplaces™ in Canada a for a 4th consecutive year! This award exemplifies the bold commitment our team makes every day to uphold Optimus SBR as a place where people come first, and culture is everything.
Optimus SBR demonstrated remarkable resilience, dedication, drive, and creativity during the pandemic and entered 2022 stronger and more engaged than ever. As restrictions lifted, we made a concerted effort to welcome back the team to the workplace that made us a Great Place to Work previously. We re-launched in-person events such as our annual Holiday Party, Thursday Night Birthday Celebrations, Tuesday Talks, Optimus Chats, and Cocktails & Conversations. Extras such as Optimus Days and the Optimus Lite program continued to support work life balance.
This year’s achievement reflects a continued focus on our people and their growth with initiatives ranging from training and career development opportunities to things like our seven, employee created and led committees, and our commitment to diversity and inclusion.
The 2022 Best Workplaces™ in Canada list is compiled by the Great Place to Work® Institute. The award is based on feedback received through a 2021 annual Great Place to Work® survey of Optimus SBR’s people and an in-depth review of our culture which evaluates areas such as diversity and inclusion, onboarding practices, and training and development opportunities. The competition process is employee driven, based on two criteria: 75% percent of each organization’s score is based on confidential employee feedback, from the globally recognized Trust Index® Survey. The remaining twenty-five percent is based on quality, quantity and effectiveness of the programs and policies which support their employees and corporate culture.
