LifeLabs has once again been named one of Canada's Best Employers
for Diversity by Forbes. This is the third consecutive year
LifeLabs has received this recognition. Forbes and Statista,
the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider,
presents this prestigious award. The awards list was announced on
July 9th, 2024, and can be viewed on the Forbes website.
The Best Employers for Diversity list recognizes Canadian
companies that have demonstrated a significant commitment to a
defined strategy to foster and promote diversity, equity, inclusion
and accessibility in their workplace culture, recruitment practices
and employee education and training.
Recipients were selected based on the assessments of
approximately 40,000 professionals working for companies employing
at least 500 people in their Canadian operations. Participants were
asked to identify Canada's Best Employers for Diversity, and the
evaluation was based on three criteria:
- Personal
Recommendations: Recommendations given by employees.
- Public
Recommendations: Recommendations given by friends and family
members of the employees or members of the public who work in the
same industry.
- Diversity
KPIs: Respondents were asked to review their employer across
various diversity-related topics: General Diversity, Gender,
Ethnicity, Sexual Orientation, Age, and Disability
