Vancouver BC/Lynnfield, MA - Sophos, a world leader in
integrated threat management, announces that Maclean's, Canada's
distinguished national newsweekly magazine, selected Sophos for its
2006 edition of "Canada's Top 100 Employers." Sophos has also been
chosen as one of British Columbia's Top 20 Employers.
More than 55,000 Canadian employers were reviewed, 7,500 were
invited to apply and only 100 were recognized as outstanding
employers that lead their industries in attracting and retaining
quality employees. Training and development, competitive benefits,
an inviting workplace and job opportunities were among the
attributes that put Sophos on the 2006 list of Canada's Top 100
Employers.
Sophos was recognized for its excellent benefits package that,
among other things, offers enrollment in the company's bonus
program, a matching RRSP program, and participation in Sophos's
share option plan. Also rated highly was Sophos's training and
development program. From a comprehensive orientation program and
in-depth product training to external training opportunities and
even an in-house Toastmasters class, developing and honing current
knowledge and skills is a focus for the organization.
"Being named one of Canada's top places to work by Maclean's is
an affirmation of the hard work and dedication of each Sophos
employee," said Steve
Munford, chief operating officer of Sophos. "Having motivated
and productive employees is enormously vital to the longevity and
overall success of a company and we've made quite an effort to make
Sophos not only a fun and inviting place to work but also a place
to learn and grow."
