RBC recognized as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers for
2010
 October,
2009 – For the second consecutive year, RBC has been
selected as one of Canada's "Top 100 Employers"
by Mediacorp Canada Inc. in its annual survey of Canadian
businesses. This year's list of top employers appeared in
a special edition of Maclean's magazine on October 8, 2009.
The recognition looks at people practices of more than 75,000
organizations and companies, inviting roughly 16,000 organizations
to apply. Selection of the Top 100 was based on assessment
of workplace practices such as professional development, communications,
commitment to diversity, performance management, benefits,
as well as physical work conditions, and atmosphere. Charitable
efforts and community involvement were also considered.
"This recognition is a testament to the kind of workplace
our employees have created," said Gord Nixon, RBC president
and chief executive officer. "We make a significant effort
to attract, retain and develop our people so that we meet
our clients' evolving needs. Our people make RBC a great place
to work."
Specifically, RBC was recognized for rewards that go above
and beyond traditional compensation, such as flexible work
arrangements, career development, a flexible health benefits
plan, and scholarships awarded to employees' children. RBC
recognizes that no two employees have identical needs and
priorities so our Total Rewards package spans the choice and
flexibility that employees desire.
"At RBC we understand that a high-engagement culture
based on shared values is part of our competitive advantage,"
said Zabeen Hirji, chief human resources officer at RBC. "Our
commitment to providing an environment where employees can
succeed has a long history. We continually evolve our workplace
to ensure employees have the opportunity to thrive and grow."
