Blazesoft Listed Among Top 15 on 2025 Best Workplaces™ in Canada
Blazesoft, a worldwide B2B service provider, celebrates inclusion on the 2025 Best Workplaces™ in Canada list, climbing to the 15th spot from last year's 34th ranking out of 100 organizations TORONTO, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Blazesoft, a service provider for top entertainment platforms across the U.S. and Canada, is delighted to share its inclusion on the esteemed 2025 Best Workplaces™ in Canada list published by Great Place to Work® Canada. Ranking 15th out of 100 premier organizations — and earning the title of Canada's number one company for Camaraderie out of 250 nominees — this recognition marks a dramatic leap from last year's 34th ranking. At Blazesoft, a great employee experience is a value-pinned success factor as it encompasses everyone's contribution to the organization, irrespective of their role, background, or time spent working there. Blazesoft is dedicated to promoting an inclusive and supportive workplace culture. With over 12 languages spoken company-wide and 55% of the workforce made up of women—including half of all senior leadership roles—Blazesoft doesn't just talk about representation; it embodies it. After the thorough and independent analysis, some standout scores were received: 98% for Integrity, 98% for Camaraderie and Team, 98% for Corporate Image, and 98% overall employee satisfaction rate, exceeding the average 60% at a typical Canadian organization. The competition process is stringent and employee-driven, relying on two key criteria: a significant portion of the total score derives from confidential employee survey responses, while the remainder is based on an in-depth review of the organization's culture. Great Place to Work's global research shows that all companies want a high-trust culture, so the way forward for organizations is to create psychologically safe workplaces, regardless of whether someone is on the front lines or sitting in a corner office. Much like the frontlines, Blazesoft keeps its departments agile and adaptable. In times of uncertainty, open two-way communication with leadership becomes especially important. So is a fundamental sense of caring among colleagues and employees' ability to bring their full selves to work. 'Being recognized by Great Place to Work® Canada, an organization that lists the best workplaces in Canada, is an honor that we deeply value, especially since it stems directly from our employees' feedback,' said Mickey Blayvas, CEO of Blazesoft.
