Unlike any other workplace awards, the Glassdoor Employees' Choice Awards are based on the input of employees who voluntarily provide anonymous feedback, by completing a company review, about their CEOs leadership, along with insight into their job, work environment and employer over the past year.
This year, the Glassdoor Employees' Choice Awards for the Highest Rated CEOs feature six distinct categories across the U.S., Canada, UK, France and Germany. In Canada, Glassdoor has revealed the 25 Highest Rated CEOs, honoring CEOs at employers with 1,000 or more employees. Winners are ranked based on their overall approval ratings from employees during the past year. The top ten Highest Rated CEOs in Canada are:

I congratulate all of the winners on this significant honor," said Robert Hohman, Glassdoor co-founder and CEO. "We know that CEO approval ratings correlate to overall employee satisfaction and trust in senior leadership, which contributes to long-term employee engagement, ultimately helping an employer's recruiting and retention efforts."

Specifically, when rating their CEO on Glassdoor, employees are asked to report whether they approve, disapprove or are neutral about the job their CEO is doing. Among the more than 700,000 employers reviewed on Glassdoor, the average CEO approval rating is 67 percent. Employees' Choice Award winners for the 2017 Highest Rated CEOs in Canada are determined using Glassdoor's proprietary algorithm, taking into account the quantity, quality and consistency of Glassdoor-approved company reviews shared by Canada-based employees between May 2, 2016 and May 1, 2017. At a minimum, employers considered must have received at least 25 company reviews, including at least 25 CEO approval ratings and at least 25 senior management ratings during the eligibility period. For reporting simplicity, CEO approval ratings are displayed as whole numbers, though calculations extend beyond the thousandth place to determine final rank order.
