Upside Software selected to receive Canada’s Top Employers for Young People award for the second year in a row.

EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA —Upside Software Inc., the global leader in enterprise contract management software, is proud to announce that it has been selected from thousands of applicants to receive the Canada's Top Employers for Young People award once again.

First published in 2001, The Canada’s Top Employers for Young People competition is organized by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers. This special designation recognizes the employers that offer the nation’s best benefits for younger workers. The employers on this list are Canada’s leaders in attracting and retaining younger employers to their organizations.

Each employer is evaluated by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers in terms of the programs they have to attract and retain younger workers. These include benefits such as tuition assistance and the availability of co-op or work-study programs, mentorship and training programs, career management programs, and company-wide skill inventories that can assist younger workers to advance faster in the organization.

Some of the top reasons why Upside Software was selected for another year as one of Canada’s Top Employers for Young People for 2011 include their share purchase and profit-sharing plans, generous referral bonuses, maternity leave top-up benefits and alternative work options, as well as their RSP contribution matching plans. In addition, Upside prides itself on offering several benefits geared towards young employees such as free tickets to concerts and sporting events, a social networking presence online, as well as numerous in-office perks.

“We are honored to receive this prestigious award for the second year in a row and value the diverse workforce and mentoring qualities we have at Upside.” said Ashif Mawji, President & CEO, Upside Software. “We are proud to have a great mix of ages at Upside, both young and more senior, as well as a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. This diversity encourages forward thinking and innovation in all aspects of our corporate culture and the software products we produce. Being chosen as a Top Employer for Young People reaffirms our vision of providing the best possible product and most effective solutions to our customers.”
