TORONTO — Enterprise Holdings, the largest car rental company in Canada, has been recognized by Mediacorp Canada Inc. for being one of the top 100 employers in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

In its annual Greater Toronto’s Top Employers competition, Mediacorp honoured Enterprise, which owns Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car brands, for its workplace best practices. Enterprise Holdings is the only car rental company on the list.

“The GTA has always attracted the best and brightest from across the country,” says Richard Yerema, managing editor of the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project, which manages the GTA competition. “Other parts of Canada have long watched with dismay at the numbers of educated and talented young people moving to Toronto. But today the GTA is a beacon for talented people from around the world – and employers in this region now lead the nation when it comes to offering progressive HR policies and initiatives that reflect such a varied and diverse population.”

Winning employers who made the Greater Toronto’s Top Employers list were evaluated on eight criteria: physical workplace; work atmosphere and social; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time-off; employee communications; performance management; training and skills development; and community involvement.

“It is an honour to be recognized among such reputable employers in Toronto,” said Margi Dolan, assistant vice president of human resources for Enterprise Holdings in Canada. “Our drive for employer excellence comes from the nature of our corporate culture, which is to take care of our employees and the communities in which they live and work.”

Enterprise Holdings’ brand portfolio accounts for more than 750 neighbourhood and airport locations and more than 5,400 employees throughout Canada. This year, the company projects continued expansion across the country, with plans to open as many as 15 new neighbourhood branches and more than 500 new employees joining the Management Training Program in Canada, which gives university graduates the opportunity to learn every aspect of the business.

Enterprise’s promote-from-within culture encourages success among Management Trainees, allowing them to move up in the company quickly. So far this year alone, more than 15,000 Enterprise employees have received internal promotions, advancements, moves or relocations.
