Vancouver, BC – April 10, 2025 – Thrilled to share that Black & White Zebra has been named one of Canada’s Top Small & Medium Employers (2025) by Mediacorp!
This national award, now in its 11th year, recognizes outstanding small and medium enterprises that offer the nation’s best workplaces and forward-thinking human resources policies. Black & White Zebra stood out for its strong culture of camaraderie fostered through regular social events and celebrations, including a summer party, charity ping-pong tournament, holiday party and annual company summit.
This award means a lot to us — not just because it’s shiny and official, but because it celebrates the things that really matter: culture, camaraderie, and caring about your people.
“It’s an incredible honour to be recognized alongside so many inspiring Canadian companies,” said Ben Aston, CEO at Black & White Zebra. “This one’s for the team, the real legends behind the scenes who make BWZ what it is. We’ve built something special together, and it’s great to see that celebrated.”
What Sets Black & White Zebra Apart
So what got us on the list? A few things we think are pretty great:
- A Culture That Actually Likes Hanging Out: Whether it’s darts night in London, Secret Santa chaos in our Vancouver HQ, or backyard BBQs with the crew in Brazil, we’re big fans of building connections. Even our remote team gets in on the fun with async-friendly leagues and digital shenanigans.
- Annual Company-Wide Summit: A 2025 highlight? An all-expenses-paid trip to Mexico. Sun, sand, team bonding, and a few questionable karaoke choices. Worth it for the memories alone.
- Flexible and Supportive Work Environment: We’re all about flexibility which means compressed work weeks, remote-first setups, and four weeks of vacation after our employee’s first year.
BWZ started in 2012 and now we’re 78 full-time Zebras strong. For our Canadian folks, we offer 5% RRSP matching, solid healthcare coverage, and spending accounts for both health and lifestyle. Because spreadsheets and spin classes both matter.
“We’re building a workplace that’s not just about what we do, but how we do it together,” added Ben. “This recognition is a great reminder to keep pushing boundaries, having fun, and supporting our people every step of the way.”
