Hendry Warren LLP has been named a top-10 recipient of the 2021 Best Places to Work in Ottawa. This annual competition is organized by the Ottawa Business Journal and the Ottawa Board of Trade and sponsored by Meldrum Horne & Associates. Surveys were conducted by the Best Companies Group.

This survey and awards program was designed to identify, recognize and honour the best places of employment in the National Capital Region, benefiting the region’s economy, its work force and businesses. The Best Places to Work in Ottawa list is made up of a total of 10 companies.

“Our entire team is thrilled by this recognition,” said Marie Fraser, Partner at Hendry Warren. “We’ve worked hard to build a rewarding and challenging environment for our staff as they apply their skill, expertise and experience to meet the needs of our clients.”

“It’s a great honour for OBJ to present these awards again along with our partner, the Ottawa Board of Trade. What really distinguishes these awards, in my mind, is the recipients are determined based on direct input from employees,” says Michael Curran, OBJ publisher.

The Ottawa Board of Trade has identified talent as a key factor in the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s working with public and private sector officials to address both practical and strategic talent-related issues for Ottawa.

“Awards programs like Best Places to Work in Ottawa shine a light on local companies who have achieved a high level of employee engagement. This gives these companies a significant advantage in the war of talent,” says Sueling Ching, Board of Trade President and CEO.

To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:

• Be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity;

• Be a publicly or privately held business;

• Have a facility in the National Capital Region;

• Have at least 15 employees working in the National Capital Region;

• Must be in business a minimum of 1 year.

Organizations from across the region entered the survey process to determine the list of recipients. The survey process consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The scores determined the top organizations and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration, survey and analysis process and determined the final rankings.

The recipient companies will be recognized at cocktail awards reception on Monday, September 27. The cocktail will also launch a virtual conference, the Ottawa Talent Summit, held the next day.
