Six Manitoba Companies That Put People First
Summary
The six winners are: mutual fund company Investors Group for "quality of work life"; accounting firm Ernst & Young LLP for training and development; Cambrian Credit Union for recruitment; vegetable growers consortium Peak of the Market for retention, rewards and recognition; Convergys CMG Canada Ltd. for employee communications; and Career Trek Inc., a not-for-profit organization that fights poverty through career connections and educational attainment for "developing tomorrow's workforce."

Management then replies either privately, if it's a personal matter, or on the site if it's of interest to the employees in general."The face of the workplace is changing," People First's [Karen Palmer] said.

It's important to be able to integrate them into our workforce."See the full content of this document
