The one thing that stuck out during the awards: when Matt O’Grady, Editor of BCBusiness Magazine, was reading off random comments from employees of the winners was how much authenticity (I am who I am at work and at home) ran true. Score 1 for the Facebook and Twitter generation.
FYI: ViRTUS is collaborating with Mindfield Group and BCBusiness to bring you the 2009 Best Companies to Work For in BC Survey and Awards. Let me know if you want your company to be involved.
