Hyundai Auto Canada was named one of Canada’s Best Workplaces by Great Place to Work for the seventh consecutive year.

The OEM is the only automaker among the top 100 organizations listed, ranking 37th on the 2024 list of Best Workplaces™ in Canada.

Hyundai Canada reaffirmed its commitment to creating a supportive and inclusive workplace that not only benefits its existing team members but also helps to attract new and rising talent to the automotive industry.

The company leads with a people-first approach and consistently looks to its team members for feedback through internal communications and surveys. Ever evolving, the executive leadership team encourages the implementation of new approaches and ideas that will benefit the community as a whole.

“It is rewarding to see how team members across every level embody our corporate culture every day and actively contribute to sustaining a positive and equitable workplace culture. Receiving recognition as one of Canada’s Best Workplaces for seven consecutive years is a significant achievement,” says Kirk Merrett, Director of Human Resources and Administration. “We are committed to fostering positive morale and camaraderie among our team members, as every one of them is intrinsic to building a more resilient, successful and sustainable business.”

Diversity, equity and inclusion

Diversity, equity and inclusion are guiding principles for Hyundai Canada’s executive leadership team and they actively strive to build a positive workplace culture and invest in employee experience.

Cross-departmental mentorship is encouraged to give team members a holistic understanding of the business and expose them to different career opportunities within the organization to help them thrive. Management also reserves two days a year, one for team building and another for team volunteering to serve the community.

Hyundai Canada’s human resources and administration teams are continually examining new ways in which they can support team members’ well-being.

A variety of wellness services are offered in-house, such as health checkups, on-site massage, dry-cleaning services, free nutritious breakfast and lunch, vehicle leasing programs and on-site sporting activities. The human resources team also revises and expands the employee health and wellness insurance benefits and has even expanded support to include free access to a virtual vet clinic.

Best Workplaces in Canada list

The 2024 Best Workplaces in Canada list is compiled by the Great Place to Work Institute using the Trust Index team member survey. Rankings are based on employee feedback, which is analyzed to determine the extent to which the employee experience is shared by the full workforce.

Great Place to Work measures the differences in survey responses across demographic groups and roles within each organization to assess both the quality and consistency of the employee experience, offering a rigorous representation of the organization from an employee perspective and an overall portrait of the workplace culture.

This year’s list captured the experience and sentiment of 330,000 employees, impacting over 600,000 Canadians.
