This follows Points’ recent recognitions as one of Canada’s 50 Top Workplaces for Women and a Top Small & Medium Employer in Canada.
Points received this honour after a thorough and independent analysis conducted by Great Place to Work®. The list of Best Workplaces™ in Technology is based on direct feedback from employees of the hundreds of organizations that were surveyed by Great Place to Work®.

“We are delighted to have made the list of Best Workplaces™ in Technology this year, a list which honors organizations that foster exceptional work environments and cultures,” said Rob MacLean, CEO at Points. “Since Points opened its doors over 17 years ago, we have made it our mission to build a culture that attracts and retains great people to deliver great results for our partners and shareholders. We look forward to continuing this mission, while championing workplaces across Canada that are inclusive, diverse and collaborative.”
