Today’s word of the day: quinquennium! Beyond being fun to say out loud (seriously, try it), it refers to a five-year period of time... and is the perfect description of a recent Payworks milestone.
As we celebrate our 25th anniversary as a 100% Canadian owned and operated organization, we’re also honoured to mark our fifth consecutive year being recognized as one of Manitoba’s Top Employers by Canada’s Top 100 Employers! Winners are evaluated on factors as diverse as benefits policies to training programs to community engagement and more.
What’s life like for the team at Payworks – in Manitoba and beyond? They’re happy to tell you themselves! At last year’s employee Connect Summit, we tapped folks from coast to coast to share their thoughts on how we got our start, where we’re headed, and what it’s been like along the way. And while our Head Office (and headcount!) may have evolved since 2024, the sentiments remain the same. Hear it all in the short video below:
Our talented tech team
As Payworks Co-Founder Barb Gamey explains in the video, the built-in-house technology behind our full suite of workforce management solutions is continually growing and changing – and without the right people, it wouldn’t be possible to provide these tech solutions to address Canadian businesses’ challenges.
“I’m very proud of our talented Development, Information Technology and Product teams, who work proactively to provide Payworks customers with simpler ways to accurately pay, schedule and manage their own staff,” says Chief Technology Officer Maureen Kinnear. “Their dedication to our brand and to problem-solving – and their commitment to our goals and each other – not only make Payworks stronger; they also make it an excellent place to come to work every day!”
Everyone belongs
“Whether they’re working behind the scenes or directly serving our customers, each Payworks employee plays a vital role in who we are and what we have to offer,” shares Jenn Johnston, Vice President of Human Resources. “In our most recent engagement survey, the most commonly-used words that appeared in our long-form responses – almost 100 times each – were ‘inclusive’ and ‘fun.’ At Payworks, everyone makes a difference and everyone belongs. It really is a special community of people here.”
“We’re thrilled to be in such tremendous company among Manitoba’s 2025 Top Employers, and thank each recognized organization and their employees for helping to make our home province such a great place to live, work, and play,” says Payworks President Michael Penman. “We’ve got so many of the best and brightest on our team – here in Manitoba and all across Canada – and are looking forward to what we can build together next.”
