April 9, 2025

Fengate is proud to announce it has once again been named one of Canada’s Top Small & Medium Employers!

You can see our feature in the Globe & Mail, the review of why we were selected for this honour, and our profile in the Globe & Mail’s digital magazine.

Now in its 12th year, Canada’s Top Small & Medium Employers (2025) is an editorial competition that recognizes small and medium enterprises (SMEs) for progressive workplace programs and policies. Canada’s SME sector represents approximately 1.3 million businesses, which comprise roughly 99.8 per cent of all businesses in the country.

To determine eligibility, the editors follow the SME definition used by Statistics Canada, limiting the competition to private-sector enterprises with under 500 employees. Non-profit organizations are not eligible.

Employers are compared to organizations in similar industries, of similar sizes, and in similar regions. They are evaluated on eight selection criteria, which include: (1) Workplace; (2) Work Atmosphere & Social; (3) Health, Financial & Family Benefits; (4) Vacation and Time Off; (5) Employee Communications; (6) Performance Management; (7) Training & Skills Development; and (8) Community Involvement.

While the underlying criteria have remained consistent since the project’s inception, areas of review have expanded and evolved with the advent of new programs and policies. Examples include workplace safety, hybrid and remote work options, and health and wellness.

The competition represents some of the most dynamic and innovative employers in Canada, many of which experienced significant growth in the past year.
