WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Feb. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Imaginet  is proud to be named among the Top 50 Best Small and Medium Employers in Canada. This is Imaginet's first year taking part in the study. The study, conducted by Queen's School of Business and AonHewitt is now in its eighth year.   

"It's a tremendous honour to be named the Best Small to Medium Employer in Canada," says Rod Giesbrecht, CEO and Co-Founder of Imaginet. "Our dynamic culture defines Imaginet and is demonstrated by the team's commitment to providing unsurpassed value to our customers. It's in our DNA."

Becoming a Top Best Small and Medium Employer is a very detailed and competitive process.  This national awards program recognizes top employers with between 50 and 400 employees. This study mirrors the renowned Best Employer in Canada initiative run by partner, AonHewitt, however, caters to smaller businesses. 

The rankings are primarily determined using the results from Employee Opinion Surveys.  Here, 21 key engagement drivers are detailed and analyzed.  The evaluation process also includes the assessment of organizational practices and perspectives from the leadership team.  This year, upwards of 250 companies across Canada were involved in the process.
