Leading Long-Term Care Provider Celebrates Second Consecutive Top 100 Employer Award
October 21, 2010, Vancouver, B.C. – Abacus Private Equity is pleased to announce that OMNI Health Care has once again been named one of the best employers in Canada according to Mediacorp Canada’s prestigious “Canada’s Top 100 Employers 2011″ competition.
OMNI Health Care is a wholly owned subsidiary of Abacus Private Equity, which provides it with strategic direction and leadership.
“We’ve seen a change this year in the programs and benefits offered by the winning employers,” says Richard Yerema, Managing Editor of the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project. “Stability and continuity in workplace programs have become the dominant values, with the flashy extras taking a back-seat to traditional benefits that make a real difference in the lives of working Canadians.” The result is a remarkable list of employers that are leading the nation in this transformation.
“It is an honour to be named once again as Canada’s top employers”, said OMNI President and Chief Executive Officer Patrick McCarthy. “We share this award with our 1,700 staff members and sincerely thank them for their commitment to providing excellent and compassionate long-term care to our residents.”
Canada’s Top 100 Employers recognizes leading organizations providing exceptional places to work by incorporating best practices in employment benefits, working conditions, training and skills development programs, and other human resource benefits.
This is the second consecutive year OMNI has been distinguished as a Top 100 Employer. The recognition is a testament to the continuous efforts the long-term care provider incorporates into its mission, vision and values.
“Having OMNI Health Care recognized as the employer of choice in Ontario’s long-term care sector for the second year running is a tremendous achievement. We’ll continue to collaborate with OMNI management to advance innovative and industry leading employee programs. Most importantly, we are incredibly grateful for our amazing staff members that go above and beyond each and every day. Thank you”, said Cooper Seeman, Managing Director of Abacus Private Equity.
