Purolator named one of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures™
TORONTO, Nov. 27, 2019 – Purolator is proud to announce that it has been recognized as one of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures™. This national award program, now in its 15th year, recognizes best-in-class Canadian organizations for creating cultures that enhance business performance and sustain lasting, positive results.
“Purolator is an incredible made-in-Canada success story,” said John Ferguson, President and CEO, Purolator. “Our deep Canadian roots have shaped our company’s culture over our 60-year history. The recognition as one of Canada’s most admired cultures is a reflection of the dedication and pride of our tremendous employees and the dynamic market change we are leading to revolutionize our customers’ experience. Purolator’s competitive advantage will always be built on the strength of our people.”
The award acknowledges Purolator’s commitment to building a corporate culture that drives performance. The Company has experienced record growth over the past three years and is poised for more. It recently announced a $1B growth and innovation investment plan, one of the most ambitious and transformative in the Company’s history. As part of this growth, Purolator has increased its workforce by 30 per cent during the past four years and raised almost 20 million pounds of food over nearly twenty years through Purolator Tackle Hunger® – the Company’s employee-driven, signature corporate social responsibility initiative.
“As we move forward, we will focus on creating the safest and most engaging workplace and on driving innovation to enhance the customer experience and fuel business growth across North America and globally,” added Ferguson. “Our people and our culture will continue to be the driving force behind our future success, through their dedication to our customers, our team, and our communities.”
Over the past three years, Purolator has created 2,500 new jobs, representing a 20 per cent increase in its workforce. Employees across the company are actively engaged in initiatives that promote continuous improvement, health and safety, diversity and inclusion, environmental sustainability, and community involvement. For example, the Purolator Tackle Hunger® program—an employee-driven initiative—has helped deliver more than 13 million pounds of food to families across Canada.
The Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures™ program was founded by Waterstone Human Capital, one of the fastest-growing executive search and talent culture firms in the industry and a leader in cultural assessment and alignment best practices. As part of its selection process, Waterstone evaluated companies’ cultural initiatives based on vision and leadership, recruitment and hiring, alignment and measurement, employee retention, rewards and recognition, corporate social responsibility, and organizational performance.
