Business analytics firm continues to offer exceptional work/life balance for its employees 

Toronto, ON  (16 Nov. 2011)  – SAS Canada, the leader in business analytics software and services, is one of Greater Toronto's Top Employers. Now entering its sixth year, The Greater Toronto's Top Employers list aims to determine which employers lead their industries by offering exceptional workplaces for their employees.

Employers are evaluated by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers using the same criteria as the national competition: Physical Workplace; Work Atmosphere & Social; Health, Financial & Family Benefits; Vacation & Time Off; Employee Communications; Performance Management; Training & Skills Development; and Community Involvement. Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offer the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.

SAS Canada is one of the top companies on the list, because of its commitment to environmental sustainability, wellness programs designed to keep their employees healthy, above grade employee benefits and community involvement. View SAS Canada's profile and list score here.
