TORONTO, April 26, 2018 /CNW/ - Corby Spirit and Wine
Ltd., a leading Canadian marketer and distributer of spirits and
wines, has once again placed on the Great Place to Work®
Institute's list of Canada's 50
Best Workplaces. The full list was announced today in a special
report in The Globe and Mail.
"It's a great honour to be recognized at this national level
once again," says Patrick
O'Driscoll, Corby's President and CEO. "This award signifies
our commitment to creating a positive work environment, listening
to feedback, and providing opportunities and resources for our team
to excel. To be selected for this list is a tribute to the
dedication and passion of our team, and I'm thrilled our employees
continue to feel proud to work at Corby."
Corby's scores from the anonymous Great Place to Work survey
highlight 5 key areas of excellence: rewards & recognition,
physical environment & resources, management competence &
integrity, fun & cooperation, and learning &
development.
Throughout the year, Corby employees enjoy great perks like
exclusive wine and spirits tastings, product allotment, flexible
working hours, top-up parental leave, and half-day Fridays during
the summer. Some of Corby's most unique and award-winning workplace
offerings include:
I Thank: a gamification-style twist on rewards &
recognition – employees share badges based on a set of strategic
capabilities to acknowledge colleagues for their hard work and
achievements. Each year, five lucky winners get an extra week of
vacation and $1,000 to donate to the
charity of their choice!
I Care: a committee that facilitates team-building
volunteer initiatives for employees across the country and
organizes awareness campaigns for important causes & issues.
Employees can take up to two paid days off to volunteer at a local
charity of their choice, or participate in group events organized
by the I Care committee.
"Distilled" On-Boarding: bi-annual event where new
employees gather in Windsor,
Ontario for a unique on-boarding experience at the Hiram
Walker & Sons Distillery, where Corby's owned spirits are made.
The two-day event includes a distillery tour, mixology classes, and
training sessions about the company's purpose, business acumen, and
brand education.
"At Corby, we understand that organizations that focus on
creating an inspiring work environment tend to be more successful
financially and culturally," says Paul
Holub, SVP of Human Resources. "This is why we're dedicated
to motivating and empowering employees to bring forth their
greatest potential."
