NTT DATA, Inc., a leading IT services provider, announced today that its Canadian subsidiary, NTT DATA Canada, Inc., has been recognized with multiple top employer awards in Canada for 2016. Chosen by Canada’s Top 100 Employers program, an annual competition to recognize Canada's best places to work, the company was recognized in three separate award categories, including Atlantic Canada's Top Employers, Canada's Top Employers for Young People, and Nova Scotia’s Top Employers.

“We are proud to be recognized by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers, as NTT DATA is committed to the development of our people and the continued nurturing of a diverse and innovative culture,” said Dean Williams, executive vice president of human capital at NTT DATA, Inc. “Our investment in our people establishes an encouraging environment with career development opportunities where they can advance and succeed. It is their creativity, talent, and drive that will help us continue to find the best ways to serve our customers.”

Organized by the editors of Mediacorp’s Canada’s Top 100 Employers program, each award ranks employers based on eight criteria: physical workplace, work atmosphere & social, health, financial & family benefits, vacation & time off, employee communications, performance management, training & skills development and community involvement. Canada’s Top Employers for Young People evaluates employers on benefits such as tuition reimbursement, training programs, and career management programs.

NTT DATA Canada’s selection was based on its progressive and forward-thinking policies for traditional programs like referral bonuses, retirement savings and planning assistance, and health and wellness benefits. In-house and online training programs are also part of the judging criteria, as is mentoring, which helps boost professional development.
