Pythian Leads the National Capital Region as a Top Employer for 2014


OTTAWA, Canada --(Business Wire)--

Pythian, the global leader in data management consulting and managed services, has been selected as one of the National Capital Region's Top Employers for 2014 by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers. This announcement comes on the heels of Pythian's recent ranking among Canada's Top Small and Medium Employers for 2014. The National Capital award recognizes Ottawa-area employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work.

Employers in the National Capital region were compared to other organizations in their fields to determine the companies with the most progressive and forward-thinking programs. They were evaluated based on eight criteria: physical workplace; work atmosphere and social; health, financial, and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and community involvement.

"Canada's National Capital Region is home to thousands of public and private companies spanning a wide variety of industries and sectors," said Heidi Hauver, Director of Human Resources at Pythian.
