Sharing is Caring

December 6, 2016 – Esri Canada is proud to be named one of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures of 2016 by Waterstone Human Capital. The national program, now in its 12th year, recognizes Canadian organizations for having cultures that enhance performance and sustain a competitive advantage. Esri Canada was selected as one of 10 winners in the mid-market category.

“Our incredibly dedicated team and our strong sense of purpose are what make our business successful,” said Alex Miller, president, Esri Canada. “We strive always to engage our employees in meaningful work and provide them with an inclusive and supportive environment where they can make a difference. We’ve fostered a culture of innovation, collaboration and continuous improvement that allows us to deliver an exceptional customer experience. I’d like to congratulate our leaders and employees for this well-deserved recognition.”

Innovation is evident in the company’s geographic information system (GIS) solutions, which are built on the ArcGIS platform. These solutions help organizations and communities across Canada to become smarter by enabling them to improve the way they record information; engage their staff, customers and constituents; and analyze data to gain deeper insight in support of more informed decisions. ArcGIS also allows users to leverage emerging trends such as big data and real-time data, and new technologies such as mobile apps, the cloud and drones. The company significantly invests in R&D and has developed groundbreaking products including Assessment Analyst, a solution that enables rapid and cost-effective property assessments right from the desktop. 

In response to customer demand, Esri Canada introduced a Management Consulting practice that focuses on helping organizations transform their businesses by applying powerful location-based data visualization and analytics using GIS technology. With the customer’s convenience always top of mind, the company leverages the latest technology to improve its processes. It recently introduced a cloud-based customer support portal with efficient self-services, a global technical support system for faster and more effective case resolution, and a new website with enhanced features.

This strong culture is testament to Esri Canada’s highly engaged workforce of more than 350 employees. The company looks for the best and brightest to join its team and invests significantly in employees' personal and professional development. Esri Canada provides competitive salaries, exceptional benefits and excellent working conditions. Its Toronto headquarters features a green roof accessible to staff and visitors. To promote work-life balance, the company offers generous vacation benefits, with new employees receiving up to six weeks of paid leave annually. As well, Esri Canada engages its employees in building community through a number of corporate giving, education and environmental programs.

“Esri Canada has a dynamic and passionate leader in Alex Miller, and as a leading GIS solutions business, they have found very innovative ways to expand the use of that technology,” said Jennifer Mondoux, managing director, Waterstone Human Capital, and a committee chair of the Canada’s 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures program. “Their corporate social responsibility platform is very impressive and tightly aligned around economy, society and the environment – the three pillars of Esri Canada’s business success. An impressive culture and a well-deserved win on their part.”
