CGI (NYSE: GIB) (TSX: GIB.A) is thrilled to have been officially ranked number one for its outstanding employee offerings in the survey of UK companies by the Top Employers Institute. CGI also received Top Employer Europe certification for the 4th consecutive year.
The annual, international research, undertaken by the Top Employers Institute, recognises leading employers around the world: those that provide excellent employee conditions, nurture and develop talent throughout all levels of the organisation, and which strive to continuously optimise employment practices.
The Top Employers Institute globally certifies excellence in the conditions that employers create for their people. The results of this year’s research were announced at an awards ceremony on 9 February 2017.
Crucial to the Top Employers Certification is the completion of a stringent research process, and meeting the required standard in order to achieve the Certification. To further reinforce the validity of the process, all answers were independently audited, meaning this research has verified CGI UK’s outstanding employee conditions.
