That’s just one of the reasons we’re so honoured to have been [once again recognized](https://blog.payworks.ca/were-honoured-to-be-recognized-as-a-top-employer-and-solutions-provider?hsLang=en-ca) among some of Canada’s best and brightest! For the [third year in a row](https://blog.payworks.ca/were-honoured-to-be-recognized-as-a-top-employer-and-solutions-provider?hsLang=en-ca), Payworks has been named one of [**HRD Canada**](https://www.hcamag.com/ca)**’s 2024 5-Star HR Software and Technology Providers**. Given that HRD Canada selects its winners based on one-on-one interviews with workforce management professionals, we’re beyond pleased to learn we’re continuing to make a positive impact and fulfilling our purpose for Canadian businesses from coast to coast. 2024 also marks our [fourth consecutive year](https://blog.payworks.ca/were-honoured-to-be-recognized-as-a-top-employer-and-solutions-provider?hsLang=en-ca) being recognized as one of [**Manitoba’s Top Employers**](https://www.canadastop100.com/manitoba/) and our [third (and final!) year](https://blog.payworks.ca/were-honoured-to-be-recognized-as-a-top-employer-and-solutions-provider?hsLang=en-ca) as one of [**Canada’s Top Small & Medium Employers**](https://www.canadastop100.com/) – both honours bestowed by Canada’s Top 100 Employers. Winners for both awards are evaluated on factors as diverse as benefits policies to training programs to community engagement and more. ![A glass statue recognizing Payworks at one of Canada’s Top Small and Medium Employers for 2024.](https://blog.payworks.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/03142024_MBTopEmployer_EDIT%20(7).jpg?width=462&height=260&name=03142024_MBTopEmployer_EDIT%20(7).jpg) But wait, back up – why are we calling the latter our “final” win? We promise it’s not due to a lack of confidence or pride in our team! The simple answer is: now that Payworks is [500+ employees strong](https://www.payworks.ca/about-us/media/article/2023/12/06/payworks-surpasses-500-employees---including-a-new-vice-president-of-product-management) (and counting), we’re no longer considered a Small & Medium Employer going forward – a milestone we see as particularly fitting as preparations begin to move into [our new Winnipeg, MB headquarters](https://blog.payworks.ca/payworks-new-headquarters-building-a-safe-and-welcoming-space-for-all?hsLang=en-ca) later this year. > “All across Canada, our employees continually inspire the folks around them with their innovative thinking and collaborative spirit,” says Vice President of Human Resources Jenn Johnston. “As an organization, we’re thrilled to once again find ourselves in such excellent company, and we congratulate all award winners on their success!” When it comes to great people, there’s always room for one more!
