Symcor Named a 2025 Great Place to Work® with 84% Employee Approval

TORONTO, ON — Symcor is proud to announce its official certification as a 2025 Great Place to Work^® — a recognition based entirely on employee feedback. With 84% of employees affirming Symcor is a great place to work and an 81% Trust Index™ score, this milestone reflects the company’s strong, people-first culture rooted in trust, pride, and collaboration.

“We’re honoured to be recognized as a Great Place To Work-Certified™ company,” said Holger Kormann, President & CEO, Symcor. “This achievement belongs to our incredible employees, whose passion, inclusivity and commitment to purpose make Symcor a truly exceptional place to work.”

The 2025 certification is based on company-wide survey responses with Symcor scoring 84% on the statement “Taking everything into account, I would say this is a great place to work.” 

At Symcor, great workplace culture starts with intentional action. In 2024, the company introduced several initiatives to deepen employee engagement and well-being, including: 

• Growth and development opportunities through: Udemy Business Learning platform and a cross-training program at our operations sites
• Access to well-being resources with two new platforms: TELUS Health Well-being and TELUS Health Virtual Care
• Expansion of our employee resource groups: Black Professional Network, Proud Professional Alliance, and MOSAIC (Muslim Outreach, Support and Inclusion Community)
  

These programs have strengthened employee connections, boosted morale, and laid the groundwork for earning this national recognition.

According to Great Place To Work® research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified great workplace. Additionally, employees at Certified workplaces are also 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work and have a fair chance at promotion. These insights reinforce the value of Symcor’s ongoing investment in employee experience.

"Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience," says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Symcor stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees."

This certification adds to Symcor’s growing list of national accolades, including the 2024 5-Star DEI Employer Award, 15 consecutive years as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers, the 2023 HRDC 5-Star Benefit Programs Award, and a 2022 Excellence Award for Best HR Communications Strategy—underscoring its long-standing reputation as an employer of choice in Canada’s financial services and tech sectors.
