SaskTel has been named one of Saskatchewan's Top Employers by Mediacorp Canada Inc. for the sixth consecutive year. In October 2011 SaskTel was also named one of Canada's Top 100 Employers.

"SaskTel employees deserve a lot of credit for helping to build a corporate culture that values teamwork and the contributions of each employee," said Ron Styles, SaskTel President and CEO. "We're proud to be named one of Saskatchewan's Top Employers and we'll continue to lead the way with career opportunities and benefits that bring out the best in our talented workforce."

Saskatchewan's Top Employers is an annual competition organized by Mediacorp Canada, the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers. This special designation recognizes the Saskatchewan employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work.

Employers are evaluated by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers using the same eight criteria as the national competition: (1) Physical Workplace; (2) Work Atmosphere & Social; (3) Health, Financial & Family Benefits; (4) Vacation & Time Off; (5) Employee Communications; (6) Performance Management; (7) Training & Skills Development; and (8) Community Involvement. Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offers the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.
