Employers whose head office is based in the Greater Toronto Area are evaluated by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers using the same eight criteria as the national Top Employer competition: physical workplace; work and social atmosphere; health, financial & 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 Mediacorp’s own research.
