Woodbine Entertainment received the honour after being certified as a Great Place to Work in January, a designation established through thorough and independent analysis conducted by Great Place to Work®.
The list of the 20 Best Workplaces in Retail and Hospitality is based on direct feedback from employees of the hundreds of organizations that were surveyed by Great Place to Work®. The data has a 90% confidence and a plus or minus 5% margin of error.
Analysis of the data to compile this list focused on the following considerations:
• For eligibility, companies must be Great Place to Work™ certified in the past year and have a minimum of 25 employees
