BBA ranked 18th for the second year in a row in Aon Hewitt study

Mont-Saint-Hilaire (Québec), October 20, 2011 - BBA is proud to announce that the company is once again among Canada's best employers based on a survey of its 750 employees carried out by the human resources consulting firm Aon Hewitt. This is the second year that the firm has participated in Aon Hewitt's Best Employers study.

The Best Employers study consists of a confidential survey submitted to employees of participating firms to measure several elements, including work environment, people factors, human resources practices, quality and excellence. In all, 261 Canadian organizations participated in this year's study. 

As Steeve Fiset, President and CEO of BBA, points out, "being one of the best employers also allows us to be one of the best suppliers of consulting engineering services. This recognition from our employees motivates our ongoing efforts to create an engaging professional environment and confirms that the approach we have taken is on target. Our status as one of Canada's best employers, thanks to the quality of our achievements and our organizational culture, is the result of exceptional team work by all our employees-and an honour shared by each and every one of us."
