recognizes forward-thinking, progressive organizations
Organigram Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OGI) (TSX: OGI), the parent
company of Organigram Inc. (the “Company” or “Organigram”), a
leading licensed producer of cannabis, is pleased to announce it
has been chosen as one of Atlantic Canada’s Top Employers.
“We’re proud to accept this award, which demonstrates our
exceptional teams’ ability to manage rapid growth while ensuring
employee satisfaction, skills training and a vibrant company
culture are priorities for the organization,” said Greg Engel, CEO,
Organigram.
The annual competition, organized by the editors of Canada’s Top
100 Employers, recognizes exceptional workplaces in Canada’s four
Atlantic provinces. Employers are evaluated by a set of criteria,
including physical workplace, work atmosphere, performance
management and training, skills and development. Employers are
compared to other organizations in similar fields to determine
which offer the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.
Today, Organigram employs around 800 full-time staff. Between
2017 and 2019, the Company’s workforce grew tenfold, with the
majority of population growth concentrated at the Company’s
Moncton, New Brunswick production facility. Organigram is one of
Moncton’s largest private-sector employers.
“As our region’s largest licensed producer, we consider it
important to set a standard for a supportive and progressive
workplace culture,” Engel said. “With the rapid growth Organigram
has experienced in a few short years, we’re incredibly proud of our
internal teams’ demonstrated ability to foster an environment where
our staff can work, grow and thrive in their positions.”

nation's largest publisher of employment periodicals also operates
Eluta.ca, one of Canada's largest job search engines, which reaches
