Mississauga, Ontario, November 30, 2011 – Gibraltar Solutions is honoured to be recognized as one of Greater Toronto Area’s Top Employers by MediaCorp Canada for the second consecutive year. The list was drawn from participants in the 2012 national Best Employers study conducted by Aon Hewitt (NYSE: AON), in conjunction with the Queen’s University School of Business

"We are very proud of this award and are steadfastly committed to providing a dynamic workplace filled with opportunity and innovation," said Jeff Williams, COO, Gibraltar Solutions. "It’s because of this commitment that we are Ontario’s leading virtualization technology experts and a special place to work."

"We are extremely pleased to be recognized as one of GTA’s best employers," said Joan Hughson, Director, Human Resources and Administration, Gibraltar Solutions. "We have rolled out a number of new initiatives in the past calendar year with the aim of improving employee empowerment and engagement. Recognition of this nature proves that our employees appreciate initiatives such as our new Bring Your Own Computer to work program."

Among the GTA Best Employers, average employee engagement is 77 per cent. "These organizations can also take pride in earning a spot on the Best Employers in the GTA list in a time of economic uncertainty when engagement levels in Canada and across the world continue to be under pressure. While engagement has held fairly steady in Canada over the last year, global engagement continues to dip and is at its lowest level since 2008 at 56 per cent, according to Aon Hewitt’s global Employee Engagement Database," stated Neil Crawford, Aon Hewitt’s study leader.

"The real litmus test of whether or not an organization is a Best Employer lies with the employees themselves," said Crawford. "This study goes beyond satisfaction (how much I like things here) and commitment (how much I want to be here) to measures engagement (how much I want to and actually contribute to improving our business results). Without a focus on engagement, it’s difficult for organizations to achieve sustainable success."
