Winnipeg, MB – Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA) thanks its employees for their care and dedication in making CCGA a great place to work! Earlier this week, CCGA was recognized as a Kincentric Best Employer Canada 2024, an award that highlights workplaces where people feel empowered, inspired, and engaged.
"Building a culture that encourages all of us to actively make CCGA a better place for our people and the farmers that we serve takes commitment from the entire team," says Rick White, President & CEO. “We believe in creating a workplace that balances the needs of our people and the needs of the organization so that we can make a meaningful difference in agriculture.”
Kincentric Best Employers recognition is much more than just scoring well on specific metrics—it's about people, organization culture, employee experience, and the outcome is completely driven by employee feedback. To achieve best employer status, employees assess their employer on four critical factors including employee engagement, organization agility, engaging leadership, and talent focus."
"We're continually adapting our work environment so employees feel supported and can remain agile and involved," says Larysa Motruk, Vice-President of Human Resources. "The policies and systems we've created around our people strive to attract and retain talented employees who believe in supporting each other and our vision of helping farmers succeed. Our employees are the foundation of what we do, and it's rewarding to be honoured with this award."
2024 is the fifth time CCGA is being recognized as a Best Employer, first in 2018 and 2019 as an Aon Best Employer Canada, and in 2021, 2023, and 2024.
