TORONTO, April 17, 2020 /CNW/ -- Great Place to Work® Institute Canada has named Morningstar Research Inc. (Morningstar Canada), a subsidiary of independent investment research provider Morningstar, Inc. (NASDAQ: MORN), as one of this year's "Best Workplaces in Canada", for the eighth year in a row. 

"At Morningstar Canada, we strive to offer an environment that promotes wellness, personal and professional development, innovation, and collaboration," said Scott Mackenzie, president and CEO of Morningstar Canada. "Now, more than ever, it is important to prioritize the health and safety of our employees, and we are proud to offer flexibility and wellness programs that are critical in supporting our employees as they work from home. Especially in these times of uncertainty, we are honoured to have received this recognition from our employees for the eighth year in a row."

This list of "Best Workplaces in Canada" is compiled by Great Place to Work® Institute Canada. The competition process is based on two criteria: a survey completed by a random selection of employees, along with their open-ended comments about their organization; and an in-depth review of the organization's culture, including an evaluation of human resources policies and procedures. This offers a rigorous representation of the organization from an employee perspective, and an overall portrait of the workplace culture. More than 400 Canadian companies were nominated and over 80,000 employees participated in the 2020 "Best Workplaces™ in Canada" survey, rolling out to impact over 300,000 Canadian employees.
