RBC among Canada's 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures
TORONTO — January, 2008 — RBC's corporate
culture ranked fourth in Canada's 10 Most Admired Corporate
Cultures of 2007 conducted by Waterstone Human Capital Ltd.,
a leading retainer-based search firm.
Between January and June 2007, Waterstone conducted 185 interviews
and surveys with members of the Canadian leadership community
representing some of Canada's largest companies. The leaders
were asked what they admire most in terms of having a corporate
culture that has helped them be successful. The interviews
led to more than 50 nominations.
"From RBC's perspective, acknowledging there are different
cultures but ensuring common cultural threads that bind the
organization and facilitate a lot of cross enterprise cooperation
and a lot of cross-enterprise selling is something we put
a tremendous amount of emphasis on because we think that's
a real differentiator," says Gord Nixon, president and
chief executive.
At RBC, our progressive policies, a commitment to diversity
and inclusion, and a strong culture of employee engagement
helps make us a top employer. We provide an enriching employee
experience with competitive compensation, flexible benefit
programs, training and career development opportunities, and
support for work/life effectiveness initiatives.
Interesting Study Highlight
Of the executives interviewed for the study, 93% of them believe
there is a direct correlation between corporate culture and
corporate performance (up 14% in 2005).
