For the second year in a row, Smith + Andersen and Footprint have earned this national recognition from Great Place to Work®, reflecting the strength of a workplace culture built on trust, collaboration, and continuous growth.
The Great Place to Work Institute surveys the employees of over 900 companies to identify workplaces with high-trust, high-performance cultures.
“The only way to be recognized is to invest in an exceptional employee experience,” says Nancy Fonseca, Senior Vice President Client Services at Great Place to Work Canada, “and have this focus permeate every part of the organization.”
At Smith + Andersen, building a strong workplace culture has always gone hand-in-hand with empowering our people and fostering an environment where employees feel genuinely engaged in their work. Over the past 60 years, that culture has evolved into a defining strength.
Being named one of Canada’s Best Workplaces™ in Professional Services for a second consecutive year is a testament to the environment we’ve built together. From mentorship and technical excellence to transparency and trust, our teams thrive in a setting where people are empowered to take initiative, share knowledge, and lead with integrity.
