Great Place to Work determined the best he best places to work based on employee responses to their Hybrid Work Readiness Index and organizational workplace programs and practices supporting and enabling hybrid work.
UL's workforce in Canada, including scientists, laboratory technicians, engineers, corporate staff, field inspectors, managers and leadership, provided positive feedback for UL's work flexibility in the Trust Index survey, making UL's offices in Canada a top workplace for hybrid work.
Michael Taylor, UL's regional manager of human resources in Canada, agreed with the recognition.
