Lowe’s Canada, one of Canada’s leading home improvement retailers operating or servicing some 450 corporate and affiliated stores under different banners, is proud to have been named one of Montréal’s Top Employer for a second consecutive year. Since 2006, this annual competition has been celebrating employers of the Greater Montréal Area who stand out in their industry with their exceptional work environment.

“At Lowe’s Canada, we make a point of listening to our associates and offering them opportunities to grow. As a group, we constantly strive to maintain a great work environment throughout our network,” said Tony Cioffi, President at Lowe’s Canada. “I am humbled and proud to witness our teams’ efforts being recognized again this year and see how our company’s culture differentiates us as a leading employer in the home improvement industry.”

Montréal’s Top Employers is part of Canada’s Top Employers competition, which includes 18 regional and special-interest editorial rankings. To be selected among the leading employers, companies are assessed and compared to competitors based on eight criteria:

• Physical workplace
• Work atmosphere and socials
• Health, financials, and family benefits
• Vacation and time off
• Employee communications
• Performance management
• Training and skills development
• Community involvement

Lowe’s Canada has earned this recognition for its commitment towards community support and its investments in employee development through training and student incentive programs, among other things.

“One thing that I love about Lowe’s Canada is its dedication to the community. Each year, my employer oversees a number of fundraising programs like Lowe’s Canada Heroes campaign or Children’s Miracle Network campaign”, added Youmanet Drame, Assistant Store Manager at Réno-Dépôt Marché Central. “Also, I really appreciate the support the company gave me in helping me grow from a customer service associate to a management role.”
