Väderstad has once again been named as one of Saskatchewan's Top Employers. Along with many of Saskatchewan's top workplaces, Väderstad continued to excel despite COVID-19.
Businesses that enter the 2021 Saskatchewan's Top Employers competition, managed by Mediacorp Canada Inc., are evaluated according to eight categories: physical workplace; work atmosphere and social; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and community involvement.
The pandemic added a new twist that affected all aspects of work life, says Richard Yerema, managing editor of Mediacorp's Canada's Top 100 Employers and regional competitions across the country.
"The pandemic is obviously a universal story," he says, noting that comprehensive wellness and support programs proved invaluable for workers often under tremendous pressure and feeling heightened anxiety about their own health and the well-being of their loved ones.
In a nutshell, workers feeling safe on the job defined how the province's Top Employers measured success during the pandemic.
