The Canada's Top 100 Employers competition is the largest editorial project of its kind in Canada, with thousands of employers taking part in each year's application process.  The distinguishing feature of the project is that its editors publish detailed reasons, providing transparency in the selection of winners and practical guidance for jobseekers about exceptional workplaces.  Each employer is graded by Mediacorp editors on eight key areas: (1) Physical Workplace; (2) Work Atmosphere & Social; (3) Health, Financial & Family Benefits; (4) Vacation & Time Off; (5) Employee Communications; (6) Performance Management; (7) Training & Skills Development; and (8) Community Involvement.  The same eight criteria have been applied since the competition was launched 15 years ago.
