KELOWNA, BC, Dec. 6, 2013 /CNW/ - (TSX-V: QHR) QHR Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of QHR Corporation ("QHR" or the
"Company") a leader in the Canadian Healthcare Information Technology
has been named one of only 50 employers on the Canada's Top Small &
Medium Employers for 2014 list.
"For several years, we have noticed a growing number of small and medium
enterprises (SMEs) that provide their employees with great benefits and
valuable workplace perks," says Richard Yerema, Managing Editor of the
Canada's Top 100 Employers project at Mediacorp Canada Inc. "Not only
are these SMEs matching many of the workplace policies once found only
at larger organizations, but their nimble size allows them to innovate
and adapt new programs more quickly than larger employers."
QHR Corporation's President and CEO Al Hildebrandt, credits exceptional
employees with a can-do attitude, broad human resource policies, social
and community involvement and a fun work atmosphere as some reasons for
the company's attractiveness as a top employer. Mr. Hildebrandt said,
"Our people are the best in the industry and we endeavour to treat them
well. We like what we do and take pride in making a difference with our
customers and with our employees. It is a great honour to be recognized
as a leading employer across all industries by this prestigious
Canada's Top Employers project".
"This new competition recognizes the vital role that small and medium
enterprises play in the working lives of most Canadians and the
nation's economy," says Tony Meehan, Publisher at Mediacorp. "Small and
medium enterprises employ almost two-thirds (63.7%) of private-sector
employees in Canada and account for over half of the nation's gross
domestic product."
Canada's Small & Medium Employers is organized by the editorial team at
Canada's Top 100 Employers. This project recognizes small and medium
enterprises across Canada leading the nation in creating exceptional
workplaces with forward-thinking human resources policies. Employers
are evaluated on eight criteria: (1) Physical Workplace; (2) Work
Atmosphere & Social; (3) Health, Financial & Family Benefits; (4)
Vacation & Time Off; (5) Employee Communications; (6) Performance
Management; (7) Training & Skills Development; and (8) Community
