If you're looking for a job, here's something to consider: Canada's top employers are hiring right now.

Forbes teamed up with research firm Statista and recently released its annual ranking of Canada's Best Employers. Over 40,000 employees took part in the survey and were asked to rate their company on several criteria: salary, gender pay equity, flexibility, training, and promotion opportunities. Participants were also asked if they'd recommend their company to others.

So, what makes for a good workplace environment? According to a 2023 report by global recruiting and staffing agency Randstad, workers evaluate employers based on salary and benefits, closely followed by work-life balance.
