Jacques Whitford Ltd., an international leader in engineering, environmental, sustainability and earth sciences solutions, is pleased to announce it has been chosen by Progress Magazine as one of the Best Places to Work in Atlantic Canada.

“This is particularly thrilling for us because we’re being recognized as one of the best employers in the region where we first started our company and remain headquartered,” said John Adams, President of Atlantic Canada for Jacques Whitford. “I am proud that we’ve been able to set high standards and demonstrate real leadership in creating an exceptional environment for employees.”

Jacques Whitford was awarded the honour based on a rigorous assessment completed independently by The Best Companies Group for Progress Magazine. The unique two-part process first requested the completion of a survey by company executives and then collected feedback from approximately 350 randomly selected Jacques Whitford employees. By garnering employee feedback, this competition was able to ensure that staff members’ experiences were positively impacted by Jacques Whitford’s programs and policies.

Consistently praised for their superior employee-focused programs and environmentally responsible policies, Jacques Whitford was also recognized this year as one of MacLean’s Top 100 Employers in Canada and by Today’s Parent Magazine as one of the 10 most family-friendly employers in the country.

“Ensuring Jacques Whitford remains a company where people can have a fun and rewarding career allows us to attract and retain the best and the brightest,” continued Mr. Adams. “When Hector Jacques and Mike Whitford founded the company in 1972 they had a clear belief and philosophy which still leads the company today... the best people attract the best clients.”
