Peninsula Co-op Earns 2026 Great Place To Work Certification™ for Second Consecutive Year
Peninsula Co-op is proud to announce that it has been Certified™ by Great Place To Work® for the second consecutive year, reaffirming its commitment to creating an exceptional workplace for its employees. The prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Peninsula Co-op. Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviours proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.
“We’re incredibly proud to be recognized as a Great Place to Work Certified™ organization for the second consecutive year” said Crysta Walski, VP, People, Culture & Community. “What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it comes directly from our employees. This year, 90 percent of our team participated in the survey, an increase of 12 percent over last year. We also saw engagement scores improve across every category, reflecting the progress we’ve made together to strengthen our workplace culture and create an environment where our people feel valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.”
Corey Gillon, Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and creating a great workplace means continually looking for ways to better support them. Whether it’s welcoming a new child, caring for a loved one, or volunteering in the community, we want our employees to know they have the support they need to balance work and life. That’s why we’ve introduced 12 weeks of enhanced parental leave benefits, four weeks of enhanced compassionate care leave, and paid volunteer time – because investing in our people is simply the right thing to do.”
These new initiatives build on Peninsula Co-op’s ongoing commitment to fostering a workplace where employees feel supported both professionally and personally. By investing in benefits that promote work-life balance, family well-being, and community involvement, Peninsula Co-op continues to create an environment where employees can thrive while making a meaningful impact in the communities they serve.
According to Great Place To Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified workplace. Additionally, employees at Certified workplaces are 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company’s profits and have a fair chance at promotion.
