BWZ also supports a number of BC charitable organizations through donating a portion of profit every year—in 2022, we donated 7% of profit to charitable organizations.

“We’re thrilled to be recognized among BC’s Top Employers”, says Cory Masters, BWZ’s Director of People Operations. “We’ve put a lot of consideration and effort into creating a fun, healthy, equitable place to work. I can honestly say I love coming into work every day. From our personal development allowance to our flexible work hours, we’ve wanted to make sure that a happy and productive employee experience is woven deep into our workplace culture”.

Now in its 18th year, BC’s Top Employers is a special designation that recognizes the British Columbia employers that lead their industries in offering exceptional places to work. Employers throughout British Columbia were evaluated by the editors at Canada’s Top 100 Employers using the same criteria as the national competition: (1) Workplace; (2) Work Atmosphere & Social; (3) Health, Financial & Family Benefits; (4) Vacation & Time Off; (5) Employee Communications; (6) Performance Management; (7) Training & Skills Development; and (8) Community Involvement. Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which offer the most progressive and forward-thinking programs. The annual competition is open to any employer with its head office in British Columbia; employers of any size may apply, whether private or public sector.
