The hours of 9 to 5 are long gone especially in the life of a public relations person, but it is good to see there are still a few good places to work. The Great Place to Work Institute has named Edelman Canada and Hill+Knowlton Strategies Canada as two of top 100 best places to places to work in the country, and these are the only two public relations agencies that made the list for 2012. For Hill+Knowlton Strategies Canada, this makes it sixth consecutive year the agency has made this list.
Updated: Edelman Canada was 11th ( and recognized as a best workplace for women) and Hill+Knowlton Strategies Canada was ranked 14th out of the total of 100 companies.
