Nissan Canada has been recognized by Waterstone Human Capital, a cultural talent advisory firm within the country, as one of Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures for 2024.
The automaker announced the news this month, noting that the program recognizes best-in-class Canadian organizations, CEOs, and CPCOs (Chief People and Culture Officers) for high performance corporate cultures that help sustain a competitive advantage.
“These awards recognize the very best in corporate culture — those leaders and organizations that have built and nurtured performance-driven cultures and that are at the forefront of culture best practices,” said Marty Parker, President and CEO of Waterstone Human Capital, in a statement. He said the 2024 winners actively created high-performance cultures.
Nissan Canada’s President Trevor Longley said the company believes that innovation, employee engagement, and social responsibility are the cornerstones of its success. He also said he looks forward to furthering their impact on both employees and the communities the OEM serves. “This recognition inspires us to continue nurturing an environment where every voice is heard and every idea is valued,” said Longley in a statement.
This year, the company partnered with a Silicon Valley tech firm to grow its innovation capabilities and encouraged employees to dedicate one or two hours a week to come up with ideas within their areas of expertise. Nissan Canada said it also conducts two annual anonymous surveys through third-party vendors to review engagement levels and get feedback from employees.
Nissan Canada has also been certified as a Great Place to Work, now for the sixth consecutive year.
