Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
HIGHLY SKILLED TALENT
Need talent? Canada is the OECD's most educated country with over 55% of Canadians aged 25–54 having graduated from post-secondary institutions.
And if you can’t find the specialized skills you need in home grown talent, you can quickly bring in top international talent through the Global Skills Strategy. For example, through the Global Talent Stream, eligible workers can receive work permits in as little as two weeks.
LOWER COSTS, LOWER RISK
Canada has the lowest overall tax rate on new business investment and lowest business costs in advanced manufacturing and corporate services among G7 nations. Canada also has the lowest business costs in the digital and R&D sectors.
