EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA — Upside Software, the global leader in Contract Lifecycle Management software announced today that it has been honored with the prestigious ranking of Canada’s Top 100 Employers.

Now entering its fourth year, the Financial Post's Ten Best Companies to Work For competition is organized by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers. This special designation recognizes fast-growing companies in Canada that offer tremendous career advancement opportunities together with leading-edge employee perks and benefits.

The Top 100 Employers list is based on outstanding Human Resource practices, exceptional growing success and contribution to the community.

Employers are evaluated by the editors of Canada's Top 100 Employers to determine which ones are growing fastest in their fields, in terms of revenue growth and the size of their workforce. Then our editors review their recruitment and retention policies using the same eight criteria as our national "Top 100" competition: (1) Physical Workplace; (2) Work Atmosphere & Social; (3) Health, Financial & Family Benefits; (4) Vacation & Time Off; (5) Employee Communications; (6) Performance Management; (7) Training & Skills Development; and (8) Community Involvement. Fast-growing employers are compared to other companies in their industry to determine which offers the most progressive and forward-thinking programs.
