The benefits are huge…

· Positive employer branding
· Higher customer satisfaction/loyalty
· Increased morale
· Lower operating costs

Let’s Get Started!

The Boating Industry Canada Employer of Choice (BICEOC award program) is the “Made in Canada” top employer recognition for the recreational marine industry. In partnership with Boating Industry Canada News Week Digest, the BICEOC Awards create leading employer brand recognition, improved employee engagement and a unique competitive advantage for attracting and retaining top talent.

What are people saying about the program…

“It has been our pleasure to take part in the BICEOC program. From our experience, the program has been very valuable as it gives us an honest, unbiased report as to what our staff are feeling. The report gives us the opportunity to learn, grow and nurture our team through anonymous feedback from them. We’ve been honoured to win the Employer of Choice Award six times and truthfully feel each year we are able to improve over the previous year with the help of the program. Thank you.”
