TORONTO, March 13, 2015 /CNW/ - Questrade Financial Group has been named one of Canada's Best Managed Companies. This year, the company was also honored with an exclusive gold standard for achieving four successive years as an award winner.
Edward Kholodenko, President and CEO of Questrade says: "This gold standard award recognizes the dedication and contribution of every member of the Questrade team. Our company wide focus is to deliver excellence to Canadian investors in every aspect. I am honoured to work with such a talented group of individuals and accept this award on their behalf."
To celebrate the gold standard award, and to find out what inspires and motivates a team dedicated to its clients, Questrade went behind the scenes with an employee tell-all video. The result? A story that speaks to team work, energy, and some interesting insight into work/life balance.
"We don't set out to win Best Managed. We set out to deliver ground-breaking and useful financial services to Canadians. The best way to achieve that goal is to bring the most talented people on board. This seems to be the formula for being Best Managed: client focus plus teamwork equals a great company," says Kris Tierney, Chief People Officer.
Canada's Best Managed Companies recognizes Canadian companies that have implemented world-class business practices and created value in innovative ways, including: new technologies, globalization, brand management, leadership, leveraging and developing core competencies, designing information systems, and hiring the right talent to facilitate growth. Behind the scenes was filmed and produced on site in Toronto and features the personal stories and opinions of Questrade employees.
