OLG ranked among top employers for third straight year

TORONTO – A large employer in Sault Ste. Marie is celebrating being selected once again to a business magazine's list of the top places to work in Canada.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation says it is "thrilled" to have been selected for Forbes' prestigious list of Canada's Best Employers for the third year in a row.

"We are incredibly proud to be named to Forbes' list for a third consecutive year," Duncan Hannay, OLG's president and CEO said in a news release.

"It means the journey we are on to build a winning culture at OLG is resonating with our employees and the investments we are making in our people are having a positive impact on how they feel about working at OLG.

"Our employees are deeply committed to our purpose of contributing to a better Ontario. Every day they show up and work tirelessly to deliver great gaming entertainment and make a real difference for people throughout the province. I'm honoured to work alongside all OLGers."

Forbes and Statista Inc. selected the Canada's Best Employers 2024 through an independent survey of over 40,000 employees working for companies with more than 500 employees in Canada.

The OLG has offices in the Sault as well as across the Greater Toronto Area.

The evaluation was based on direct and indirect recommendations from employees who were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family, as well as input from the general public, according to the release.

"It is truly humbling to know that so many of our employees continue to feel OLG is a great place to work, and I want to thank all OLGers for helping us achieve this outstanding recognition," said Esther Zdolec, OLG's senior vice president of people and culture.
