At Fresche, we strive to provide programs that put our people first, further develop their strengths and help them reach their full potential.

Maria Anzini, Vice President of Talent Acquisition at Fresche, commented that it was an honor to be chosen again by the program. "Another year alongside some of the greatest companies in Canada is just amazing. As market needs evolve, we're able to grow and give our employees opportunities to develop their skills and take on new challenges. Our passion for making our Customers smile grows out of how we run the business, how we all work together as colleagues and our combined sense of pride. When you appreciate your employees and give them room to grow, they like where they work, and they transmit their enthusiasm to Customers. Fresche continues to be a place where people are happy to arrive in the morning.

We promote idea sharing and collaboration, and we hold regular weekly all-employee meetings where everyone has a chance to contribute. We're always looking for ways to innovate; we know that growth is the key to employee satisfaction and we want to encourage it any way we can. This year we added many new customers, employees and even investors, so things are always changing and new opportunities arise almost daily. Fresche is an exciting place to be."

We have been chosen one of Canada's Top Small and Medium Employers, but our benefits and philosophy extend worldwide to all of our Fresche Legacy offices.
