National Bank Ranks Once Again Among The Best Employers in Quebec

MONTREAL, March 15, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - National Bank is proud to have been named for a second consecutive year to the Best Employers in Quebec list, a regional offshoot of the Best Employers in Canada ranking compiled by Aon Hewitt. This regional ranking, launched in 2012, recognizes Quebec companies with human resources practices that strengthen employee commitment and engagement.

"Beyond the actual recognition it offers, this ranking allows us to evaluate and improve our HR practices. Employee commitment and engagement are key to our ability to roll out the red carpet for our clients," stated Lynn Jeanniot, National Bank's Executive Vice-President - Human Resources and Corporate Affairs.

The One client, one bank transformation includes a focus on behaviours such as teamwork, mutual respect and open communication between employees and managers. These corporate values are factors that enabled National Bank to once again make the Best Employers in Quebec list.

Other distinctions received since the start of the year, including being named among Canada's Best Diversity Employers and Montreal's Top Employers, provide further recognition for the Bank's corporate culture.
