Becoming a Top Best Small and Medium Employer is a very detailed and competitive process. This national awards program recognizes top employers with between 50 and 400 employees. This study is conducted annually by Aon Hewitt, the human capital consulting and outsourcing solutions business of Aon Corporation (NYSE: AON), in conjunction with the Queen’s University School of Business.
The rankings are determined using the results from Employee Opinion Surveys where 21 key engagement drivers are detailed and analyzed.
