VANCOUVER (December 30th, 2009) – For the ninth straight year, Flight Centre has been rated among the Top 50 Employers to work for in Canada, according to Report on Business Magazine’s annual rankings.

“We are obviously very proud to be recognized as a Top Employer in Canada for 9 consecutive years. As a people-focused organization this type of acknowledgement proves that our strategies are working, particularly during a challenging global economic climate. We are also aware that we must strive to be the best through constant improvement.” said Flight Centre Canada’s President, Greg Dixon.

The list of the 50 Best Employers in Canada for 2010 appears in the January issue of The Globe and Mail’s Report on Business magazine and in La Presse. One hundred and thirty-four Canadian organizations registered to participate in the study. The results from this year’s study are based on survey responses from more than 108,000 Canadian employees, with additional input from over 1,200 leaders and human resources professionals. The rankings are compiled each year by international consulting firm Hewitt Associates.

“The 50 organizations that appear on the 2010 list of the Best Employers in Canada faced the same challenges confronting virtually all employers, yet managed to maintain high employee productivity and commitment to organizational success,” said Neil Crawford, national leader of the Hewitt study. “Now that the economy is starting to recover and the demand for talent is heating up again, these employers will be able to retain key people, thanks to their focus on sustaining and improving high employee engagement.”
