Survey names N.B. ICT firm best place to work on East Coast New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal Friday, June 22, 2007
Progress Magazine engaged the Best Companies Group to survey East Coast workplaces. Cavanagh said the company had to fill out a long survey form with lots of questions, "but most of all you defer to your employees who filled in an anonymous survey and I really think this is the most meaningful part of the survey." Progress Magazine cites Ambir's profit-sharing program, an average annual salary of $83,000, and extended health coverage as factors in the first place finish in the survey. "I think it's the culture, it's an environment where we treat everyone with respect," Cavanagh said. "We have a very mature team, we have people who have worked for a lot of employers," he said. "It's a sharing, caring, people-centric environment - we want to enjoy each other's company as we build the business." Cavanagh said Ambir employees, who could all find work elsewhere, share a vision of building an enterprise in New Brunswick. "We are committed to staying here." He said the company created AmbirCares last year to undertake community and charitable projects. This year AmbirCares will sponsor a project to provide clean drinking water to a community in India. The survey lists six other New Brunswick employers among the top 20 in the region: Farm Credit Canada in Moncton (2), Deloitte & Touche LLP in Saint John (3), Fundy Engineering & consulting Ltd. in Saint John (9), OMISTA Credit Union in Moncton (12), Fairmont Hotels & Resort Global Reservations Centre in Moncton (15) and Assumption Life in Moncton (17). © 2007 Telegraph-Journal (New Brunswick) |
