Visa Canada named to the list of 2019 Greater Toronto's Top Employers

TORONTO, Dec. 7, 2018 /CNW/ - Visa Canada is thrilled to announce our recognition as one of Greater Toronto's Top Employers by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers at Mediacorp Canada Inc. The Greater Toronto's Top Employers competition has become a benchmark in the Greater Toronto Area for workplace best practices, and Visa Canada is honoured to be a recipient of this award.

"We are proud that focusing on professional growth and development for our employees has led to our ranking as one of Greater Toronto's Top Employers," said Stacey Madge, Country Manager and President, Visa Canada. "We value our employees' diverse perspectives and encourage an atmosphere of thinking outside the box."

Visa prides itself on giving employees the opportunity to shape the Canadian payments landscape, invest in their career growth and be part of an inclusive and diverse workplace. This year, Visa launched employee-driven committees that drive cross-functional collaboration in areas ranging from employee engagement through diversity and inclusion to charitable giving and volunteer activities.

Now in its 13th year, the Greater Toronto's Top Employers competition is an editorial project that recognizes employers with exceptional human resources programs and forward-thinking workplace policies. Top Employer recognitions are awarded only after rigorous evaluations. Visa Canada was assessed based on eight criteria: physical workplace; social atmosphere; health, financial, and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and community involvement.
