In addition to the Top Employers Award, the Company was also recognized as a “Top Employer for Recent Grads.”

This is a huge honor, and demonstrates the commitment employees & management have in making Sekisui Diagnostics PEI a great place to work. As a manufacturing company, the award is truly a special accomplishment – as winners are usually in the banking, service, insurance, retail and educational fields.

About Canada’s Top Employers Award

The Canada’s Top Employers Award, organized by the editors of “Canada’s Top 100 Employers,” is an annual national competition to identify employers in Canada which lead their industries in offering exceptional workplaces.

What distinguishes the competition is their publication of specific, detailed reasons for selection. The organization writes that this:

“provides transparency in the selection of winners and ‘raises the bar’ so that other employers can discover and adopt initiatives that work well elsewhere.”

Sekisui PEI Also a Top Charlottetown Exporter

In 2017, Sekisui Diagnostics PEI also made the final list for PEI Top Exporters – a recognition awarded by Charlottetown’s Chamber of Commerce.
