(Calgary, AB and Toronto, ON) - Once again Bennett Jones has been ranked as one of the top ten places to work in Canada. The "Best Employers in Canada" survey is conducted by AON Hewitt for Maclean's and Queen's University School of Business. This year Bennett Jones was ranked as the 8th best place to work in Canada. This is the ninth consecutive year the firm has been in the top 50 and the fifth consecutive year it has been in the top 10.

"This ranking is a testament to the exceptional commitment of our people to both our clients and to each other," says Hugh MacKinnon, Chairman & CEO, Bennett Jones.

Organizations were selected as Best Employers based primarily on confidential surveys from more than 134,000 Canadian employees that measured their level of engagement. According to Aon Hewitt's definition, employees are engaged when they “say, stay and strive": they speak positively about the organization to others; are committed to remaining with their current employer; and are motivated by their organizations' leaders, managers, culture and values to go “above and beyond” to contribute to business success.
