Canada’s Best Managed Companies harness an engaged talent pool to capitalize on new opportunities

Toronto, May 10, 2022 - Deloitte Canada is thrilled to announce the winners of the 2022 Canada's Best Managed Companies awards program, spotlighting the top privately-owned Canadian companies with annual revenues over $50 million. This year's companies-including the program's 29 new winners-highlight their strategic planning, adaptability, and commitment to their communities as key factors contributing to their success on a global scale.

"The 2022 Best Managed winners have demonstrated an exceptional ability to identify lucrative opportunities and successfully adapt to new situations, leveraging industry-leading competencies to maximize their investments and drive sustainable growth," said Lorrie King, National Co-Leader of the Canada's Best Managed Companies program and Partner, Deloitte Private. "Over the past year, these companies displayed a forging-forward mentality that enabled them to weather challenges and explore new avenues for advancement. They exemplify the resilience and innovative business practices that are necessary as the Canadian and global business environments continue to change rapidly."

Another connection between Canada's Best Managed Companies is their continued attention to employee wellbeing, with policies and practices ranging from increased benefits and flexible work options to opportunities for professional development and growth. These companies promote clear and consistent communication throughout their organizations, fostering inclusive, collaborative workplaces where employees' contributions are recognized and rewarded through holistic compensation systems.

"Industry leaders understand that enhanced employee engagement and retention are vital to an organization's long-term success," said Derrick Dempster, National Co-Leader of the Canada's Best Managed Companies program and Partner, Deloitte Private. "This year's Best Managed winners embraced a people-first mentality, ensuring their employees feel valued and empowered and enabling them to cultivate important capabilities to make valuable contributions and help further their organization's core purpose."

Canada's Best Managed Companies are also demonstrating a renewed focus on customer and community relationships, with many of this year's winners taking active strides to integrate environmental, social, and governance considerations into their strategic planning and decision-making.

"It is increasingly important for companies to consider the broader impact of their actions on their communities," said Dino Medves, Senior Vice President and Head, CIBC Commercial Banking. "Companies who incorporate these concerns into their practices are able to develop deeper connections with clients, improve employee engagement, and drive continuous growth. The 2022 Best Managed winners are leaders in this area and should be proud of their significant contributions to their communities."
