We’re delighted to share that we’ve been Certified™ by Great Place to Work® for the second year in a row. A huge thank you to our teams who continue to make Specsavers a fantastic place to thrive — your passion and dedication are the heart of our success.

“We’re especially thrilled that 96% of our colleagues reported in the survey that when you join the company, you are made to feel welcome. This outstanding feedback highlights our commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive environment from day one,” says Shiah Bazeley, People Director at Specsavers Canada.

We’re creating a workplace to care for 1 million customers

Hear from Bill Moir (General Manager), Naomi Barber (Clinical Services Director), and John Faires (Director of Central Operations) about what makes Specsavers Canada a unique place to be.

Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, colleagues experience, and the leadership behaviours proven to deliver market-leading revenue, retention and increased innovation. It is the only recognition based entirely on what colleagues report about their workplace experience – specifically, how consistently they experience a high-trust workplace.

“Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,” says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. She emphasizes that Certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Specsavers Canada stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.”
