BlueCat was named a Great Place to Work Best Workplace in Canada for the fourth consecutive year, improving its ranking in the mid-size (100–999 employee) category to #22. The recognition, based on Great Place to Work’s Trust Index Survey and three decades of research, reflects BlueCat’s ongoing efforts in people initiatives, inclusion, and workplace culture. The achievement highlights operational benefits for recruiting and retention, underscores repeat honors in areas like inclusion and mental wellness, and signals continued focus on improving workplace performance and employee trust.

What is the basis for BlueCat being named a Best Workplace in Canada by Great Place to Work?

The award is based on Great Place to Work’s Trust Index Survey, which is administered annually to millions of employees worldwide and grounded in thirty years of research and data on high-trust, high-performing workplace cultures. BlueCat’s placement in the Best Workplace in Canada list reflects employee responses to that survey, evaluating trust, culture, and workplace practices. The company’s repeated recognitions indicate consistently strong survey results across multiple years and categories.

How has BlueCat’s ranking changed over the years in the mid-size category?

BlueCat’s ranking in the mid-size (100–999 employee) category has steadily improved: it first made the list at #31 in 2017, rose to #28 in 2018, moved up to #24 the following year, and reached #22 in the current year. This upward trajectory demonstrates measurable progress in BlueCat’s workplace culture and employee experience as recognized by Great Place to Work’s annual assessments. The climb in rankings is cited by BlueCat leadership as evidence of the People team’s efforts.

What other workplace recognitions has BlueCat received in addition to Best Workplace in Canada?

In addition to Best Workplace in Canada, BlueCat has been recognized for multiple specific Best Workplace distinctions in prior years: Best Workplace for Women (2020), Best Workplace for Inclusion (2020), Best Workplace in Technology (2019), Best Workplace for Millennials (2019), and Best Workplace for Mental Wellness (2019). These awards reflect focused achievements in gender inclusion, diversity and inclusion initiatives, industry-specific workplace quality, support for younger workers, and mental health support. Collectively, they reinforce the company’s broader culture code and people-focused priorities.

The ballots are cast, the tally is in, and once again BlueCat is in the winner’s circle!

For the fourth straight year, BlueCat was recognized as a Best Workplace in Canada by Great Place to Work.

“BlueCat is thrilled to be recognized once again as a Best Workplace in Canada,” said Cheryl Kerrigan, VP of People at BlueCat.  “Our consistent rise in the rankings is a testament to the hard work of the BlueCat People team to build and nurture our corporate culture.  It also says a lot about what our culture code means to the BlueCat employees who live it every day.  We’re honored by this award, and have our sights set on an even higher rank next year!”
