Thales Canada Named as GTA Top Employer

Today, Canada’s Top 100 Employers competition, the definitive annual list of the country’s best workplaces, named Thales Canada as a Greater Toronto Top 2020 Employer.  

Recognized for excellence in employee communication, training and skills development, physical workplace and atmosphere, health, financial and family benefits, vacation and time-off and community involvement – this is the second year in a row that Thales has been selected as a top employer.
