Now in its 12th year, Canada’s Top Small & Medium Employers is an editorial competition that recognizes the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that offer the nation’s best workplaces and forward-thinking human resources policies. Harris & Company LLP is proud to be recognized in this year’s edition of Canada’s Top Small & Medium Employers.
“Our SME winners have always provided dynamic environments where employees are in the driver’s seat in mapping out their career paths,” says Richard Yerema, executive editor of the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project. “But what’s changing is their ability to match larger employers in terms of benefits such as vacation allowance, mental health support, and family-friendly benefits. The differences between these SMEs and the winners on our national list are becoming increasingly smaller.”
Editors at Mediacorp review employers on eight criteria, which have remained consistent since the project’s inception: (1) 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 editors publish detailed ‘reasons for selection’ for these criteria, providing transparency in the selection of winners and a catalogue of best practices for employers and job-seekers alike. To be eligible for this competition, employers must have their 2 head office or principal place of business in Canada and meet the Statistics Canada definition of a small or medium enterprise.
The full list of Canada’s Top Small & Medium Employers (2025) was announced today in a special magazine published online in The Globe and Mail.
