Prime Data chosen as one of Canada’s best workplaces
Marketing technology leader Prime Data (Aurora, ON) has been
named one of just 75 Employee Recommended Workplaces in
Canada. The recognition is part of the third-annual survey by
The Globe and Mail. Selected organizations have achieved
high standards for healthy workplaces, as reported by their
employees – who completed a confidential personal assessment
for evaluation. “We’ve made a deliberate effort over the
past few years to put our team’s health and well-being at
the forefront,” said Steve Falk, President. “The Employee
Recommended Workplace seal is the result of our management
team and our employees making extra efforts to be healthy
inside and outside of work.” As
part of its goal to be a healthy,
produc tive and engaging
workplace, Falk asked his team
to complete an anonymous
third-party survey each week.
The results provided regular
feedback on what the company
is doing right, and what they can
