TORONTO, Nov. 23, 2023 — Purolator was recognized today as one of Canada’s Most Admired™ Corporate Cultures for 2023. Now in its 20th year, the program recognizes best-in-class Canadian organizations for having cultures that enhance performance and sustain a competitive advantage. As a fourth-time recipient of the award, Purolator also earned the program’s prestigious Hall of Fame designation this year.
“Purolator has made significant investments in our leadership and culture, which has been the primary driver of our success,” said John Ferguson, President and CEO, Purolator. “This year’s award and Hall of Fame designation underscores the dedication and collaborative spirit of our people, and further reflects our commitment to cultivating a culture of leadership, collaboration and inclusion. This dedication is the driving force of our unique culture, and I couldn’t be more proud of our team for this recognition – and for making Purolator an amazing place to work.”
Performance, leadership, inclusion and sustainability are some of the attributes that have shaped Purolator’s culture. Recent accomplishments include:
- Increased employee engagement to 80 percent – a major achievement in the post-pandemic era, a time when many organizations were experiencing employee retention challenges.
