The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) has been recognized by Forbes as one of the top 15% employers in Canada this year.

Placing 41st in Canada’s Best Employers in 2023, the position marks a 12-place improvement on last year when the firm finished 53rd out of 300.

Compiled by Forbes and Statista, nominees are selected through an independent survey of employees working for companies with more than 500 employees in Canada. The evaluation was based on direct and indirect recommendations from employees who were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family.

Esther Zdolec, VP of People and Culture, commented: “This recognition means so much because it is completely employee driven and shows how proud OLGers are of the work we do together.

“Our employees are committed to doing good for Ontario and playing as one team. They support and value their colleagues and celebrate different perspectives and backgrounds. OLG could not do the good we do without the tremendous dedication of our employees.”

Furthermore, OLG placed second within the gaming industry this year.

Duncan Hannay, President and CEO, added: “It is an honour to again be recognized on Forbes’ list of top employers in Canada and to know that so many of our employees would recommend OLG as a great place to work.

“OLG is an employer of choice, and I am proud to work alongside all OLGers as we transform gaming entertainment in Ontario and make a difference for people throughout the province.”
