We’re thrilled to be ranked 16th in the Fortune World’s 25 Best WorkplacesTM Fortune Magazine and Great Place to Work® selected Specsavers from a list of organizations that took part in the Great Place to Work’s employee survey process, with 7.4 million responses received, representing 20 million employees worldwide.
“This is an incredible achievement, and it is a credit to all our colleagues and partners who work hard to make Specsavers such a great place to work. I could not be prouder. Our ranking among so many other brilliant organizations on this list continues to drive our ambition in making life here truly special,” says John Perkins, CEO.
To be considered for the list, companies must be identified as outstanding global employers with recognition on at least five Best WorkplacesTM lists from across the world in 2023 or early 2024.
Colleagues said the opportunities offered to develop and grow as well as the culture and level of care for employees were the main reasons for rating the business so highly.
“We’re very proud to be named as one of the world’s best workplaces,” said Bill Moir, Managing Director, Canada. “This global recognition reflects our commitment to putting our people first, which has been the foundation of our successful growth in Canada. People have, and always will be, at the heart of everything we do at Specsavers.”
In Canada, Specsavers was recognized in Canada’s Best Workplaces™ List for 2024, including additional awards for best workplace in retail/hospitality, for women, for giving back, and as an organization headquartered in BC. Since arriving in the country in late 2021, we’re continuing our rapid growth across the country, providing career and business ownership opportunities in Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, and British Columbia.
With over 140 locally owned locations in Canada, we employ more than 1,500 people and have more than 325 independent optometrists providing comprehensive care in our network.
