Eagle Celebrates another 50 Best Year!
Professional Staffing Company Upholds Elite Platinum Status As One of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies!
Ottawa, ON, February 17, 2010 – Eagle is pleased to announce that the company has retained its status on the Platinum Club member list with Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies program by upholding its Best Managed designation every year since 1999. Platinum Club status is achieved by retaining the Best Managed designation for more than six consecutive years.
Eagle is one of 72 Canadian companies with Platinum Club status. “We would like to congratulate Eagle and its entire workforce. Achieving Canada’s highest level of Canadian business excellence takes a united effort and we are privileged to acknowledge such a strong team,” said John Hughes, Partner, Private Company Services group with Deloitte, a national sponsor of the Best Managed program.
Established in 1993, the Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies is a national awards program, recognizing Canadian companies that have implemented world-class business practices and created value in innovative ways. Applications are reviewed by an independent judging panel that evaluates how companies address various business challenges, including new technologies, globalization, brand management, leadership, leveraging and developing core competencies, designing information systems, and hiring the right talent to facilitate growth.
“To be accredited for more than six years as one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies is a remarkable achievement,” said Calvin Younger, Senior Vice-President, CIBC Commercial Banking. “This award is a tribute to these companies’ strong leadership, talented workforce and unsurpassed corporate values. They are models of success for companies striving to reach the highest standards.”
In alignment with corporate core values, team, integrity, excellence and innovation, Eagle demonstrates a commitment to best business practices, continuous improvement and delivering high quality services. The company continues to invest in researching and developing best of breed training, using industry-leading technology tools and quality practices to further improve the value that we bring to our clients. As an ISO certified (ISO 9001:2000) organization, Eagle is committed to quality and Eagle’s Quality Management System continues to be a valuable asset in identifying and resolving issues and improving services. All of these are essential elements in Eagle’s success formula.
“The 50 Best program challenges Canadian private companies to develop best practices and to strive for excellence, making for better companies and all of the benefits that brings to the Canadian economy,” said Kevin Dee, Eagle’s CEO. “Thank you Deloitte, CIBC, National Post and Queens…this is a great program, and we are proud to be a part of it.”
This year’s 50 Best winners, Requalified and Platinum Club members will be honoured at the annual Best Managed gala in Toronto on March 8, 2010. A symposium addressing leading-edge business issues that are key to the success of today’s business leaders will take place prior to the evening gala event.
