SAS Institute Canada Inc. made it to the 2021 List of Best Workplaces™ for Women

SAS Institute Canada Inc. is proud to announce that our organization has been named on the 2021 list of Best Workplaces™ for Women. SAS Institute Canada received this honour after a thorough and independent analysis conducted by Great Place to Work®.

“We have made great strides in building a diverse and inclusive workforce but there is still work to be done and progress to be made,” said Cameron Dow, President, SAS Canada. “At SAS, we continue our commitment to creating opportunities to promote gender equality and empowering women for innovation and business success."

In 2018 SAS Canada launched the Women in Analytics Network to strengthen diversity in the analytics field. This program leverages the SAS values of authenticity, value for work/life balance and passion to build a community of women, inside and outside of SAS, who work to advocate for women in the field of analytics. The SAS Women in Analytics Network was also showcased as a best practice in joint research released by Great Place to Work® and the WE EMPOWER programme of the UN Women, European Union and the International Labour Organization, read the report here: Empowering Women for Innovation and Business Success.
