The Best 2018 Employers in Canada:

Indeed, Canada's first job search site, has unveiled the 2018 edition of its ranking of the best employers in the country. Based on hundreds of thousands of evaluations filed by workers in the Business Pages section, this list was created taking into account different aspects: workplace, salary, benefits, job security, balance of interest / professional life, …

And in the midst of a swarm of banks and financial firms, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, a hotel industry player, leads the way. If the announcement is, of course, pleasant, it is "not a surprise," says Ilda Palermo , Director, Talent & Culture, Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth . "We are very proud and very pleased with this great recognition of the efforts," she says. We have been stressing for years the importance of listening, career opportunities and developments, and the benefits of joining our group. "

Last year, Fairmont was not among the top-25 best employers in Canada. For the manager, this staggering entry in the ranking could be to parallel with the introduction of new benefits following the acquisition of the brand by the AccorHotels group in 2016. "Their benefits were added to ours. This has allowed many additions to the program "Destinations", illustrates the manager. Our employees now have access to more than 4,000 hotels around the world. "

Recalling that "there is always room for improvement", Ilda Palermo says Fairmont Hotels & Resorts still wants to get more involved in the communities and continue its efforts in terms of recycling and communication. "By visiting each of our establishments, we will be able to better identify the specific needs of each one of them. "

In a context of labor shortages, the group Fairmont Hotels & Resorts does not know any difficulties to recruit, confesses the director. On the other hand, he, like many others, is struggling to keep his elements. "Executives and young supervisors are the ones who want to discover more horizons after a certain period, or even to change careers altogether. To convince members of the new generation to stay with us is perhaps our biggest challenge. "
