Toronto, Ontario, Feb. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- We are pleased to share that LifeLabs has been named one of “Canada’s Best Employers for 2022” by Forbes. In addition to being recognized for the second consecutive year, LifeLabs has also placed in the top 100, out of 300 employers. This prestigious award is presented by Forbes and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.
“As an organization, it is an honour to be recognized by our employees and peers as an employer of choice,” says Charles Brown, President and CEO of LifeLabs. “We thank each of our employees for embodying LifeLabs’ values daily, making significant contributions to our communities and the healthcare sector. They are the driving force of what we do in our pursuit of excellence and to empower healthier Canadians.”
