The Canalta Hotel in Shaunavon.

 

Saskatchewan's Employer of Choice Program continues to attract new tourism employers committed to workplace excellence.

Tourism Saskatchewan is pleased to announce that 27 businesses have earned the Employer of Choice Designation for 2017, including the Canalta Hotel in Shaunavon.

Carol Lumb is the Director of the Saskatchewan Tourism Education Council. She says, "To apply you must complete a very rigorous audit that takes many hours of work. Equally important is the fact that they must also provide a survey to their employees. And 25% of employees, front line and management, need to complete that survey."

The Program recognizes the best tourism employers who embrace successful human resource practices that make Saskatchewan a welcoming, service-driven destination.

The 27 businesses will receive recognition at a luncheon in May sponsored by the Saskatchewan Hotel and Hospitality Association, as well as at Tourism Saskatchewan's Annual Tourism Workplace Leadership Conference in June in Saskatoon.
