We’re honoured to announce that OXD has once again been certified as a Great Place to Work® in Canada—our third consecutive recognition. Being awarded this for the third year running speaks to the heart of our company culture: a supportive, engaging environment where employee feedback genuinely matters and shapes how we evolve.
This isn’t just an award we collect—it’s validation from our team that the culture we’ve worked to build is resonating. Great Place to Work® certification is earned through confidential employee surveys measuring trust, pride, and camaraderie. Our people’s voices drive this recognition, and their feedback continues to guide our growth as a workplace.
What our team consistently values about working at OXD:
- A psychologically safe environment where everyone belongs
- Fair treatment and genuine respect across all levels
- Authentic care for each other’s success and well-being
- Work-life balance that’s protected, not just promoted
- Leadership that’s approachable and invested in our growth
Three years in a row tells us we’re doing something right. At OXD, we’ve built a culture where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to bring their best selves to work. That’s the foundation of everything we do—and it’s why our team keeps choosing to stay and grow with us.”
Darren Gibbons, President, OXD
Achieving this certification three consecutive years demonstrates that exceptional workplace culture requires sustained commitment, not one-time initiatives. At OXD, we’ve built systems and practices that prioritize employee wellbeing, professional growth, and authentic connection—and we continually adapt based on what our team tells us matters most.
The data supports this approach: Great Place to Work® Canada reports that certified companies experience 50% higher employee retention compared to industry averages. For OXD, this translates to continuity in client relationships, deeper institutional knowledge, and a team that’s invested in our long-term success.
But the numbers only tell part of the story. What matters most is that our team members feel heard, supported, and empowered to do meaningful work while maintaining healthy boundaries between their professional and personal lives.
Thank you to the OXD team. This recognition belongs to all of you. Your feedback challenges us to keep improving, your collaboration makes our work possible, and your commitment to each other makes OXD the workplace it is.
