BASF recognized as one of Greater Toronto’s Top Employers for 2018

MISSISSAUGA, ON, December 8, 2017 – For the fifth consecutive year, BASF was recognized as one of Greater Toronto’s Top Employers for 2018.

Mediacorp, the country’s largest publisher of employment periodicals, cited BASF Canada for its work atmosphere, health benefits, family-friendly workplace and community involvement, among others.

“Being recognized again as a Top Employer in the Greater Toronto Area is a testament to BASF’s commitment to our employees,” says Terri Howard, BASF’s Director of Human Resources. “It’s important for us to provide a collaborative work environment and to invest in talent by offering diverse learning and development opportunities that enable our employees to grow professionally while building rewarding and dynamic careers.”

The editors of Greater Toronto’s Top Employers evaluate employers using eight criteria: physical workplace; work and social atmosphere; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and community involvement. Selection was based on information from a national Top Employer application submitted by BASF Canada, together with independent research by Mediacorp.
