As in previous years, global HR outsourcing and consulting firm Hewitt and Associates designed and conducted this study.
The survey is sent to more than 1,500 Canadian companies with greater than 400 employees.
Broken down into three components - the Leadership Team Survey, the Human Resources Survey, and the Employee Opinion Survey - the results were meant to capture a broad employee perspective within the company.
The Leadership Team survey focused on the vision, culture, strengths and opportunities of the organization while the Human Resources survey focused on the HR strategy and philosophy of the company.
The Employee survey was distributed to a random sample of employees, representing union and non-union groups proportionally, including employees from G&K's recent acquisitions in Canada.
Based on the employee size of G&K Canada, 500 employee surveys were required for consideration.
The results and an article on the winners were published in The Globe and Mail's Report on Business and La Presse on December 23, 2005.
Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, G&K Services Inc is a market leader in branded identity apparel programs and facility services in the United States, and is the largest such provider in Canada.
G&K operates over 140 processing facilities and branch offices, serving more than 160,000 customers.
