OAKVILLE, ONTARIO, August 27, 2012, – FCT today announces its recognition as one of the Achievers 50 Most Engaged Workplaces™ in Canada. This annual award recognizes top
employers that display leadership and innovation towards engaging their employees.
“The Achievers 50 Most Engaged Workplaces™ understand these practices are not only good for employees but also the bottom line.

The Achievers 50 Most Engaged Workplaces™ Awards panel of judges evaluated each applicant based on the Eight Elements of Employee Engagement™: Communication, Leadership, Culture, Rewards & Recognition, Professional & Personal Growth, Accountability & Performance, Vision & Values and Corporate Social Responsibility.

“We are delighted to be recognized as one of the top Canadian employers for leadership and innovation in employee engagement,” said Michael LeBlanc, FCT’s EVP & COO. “One of our strategic priorities at FCT is to create an environment where our employees can be great. Our employee‐led committees and programs like Achievers are fundamental to ensuring that we meet this priority.”
