Toyota and CMH are ranked No. 203 and 233 on the list of the top 300 employers
Two local employers have been nationally recognized.
Forbes, a global media company, has named Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, which has a facility in the city, and the Cambridge Memorial Hospital as top employers in 2025.
Toyota was ranked No. 203 and the hospital came in at No. 233 on the list of 300. CMH was also ranked No. 60 for company culture.
To create the rankings, Forbes partnered with the market research firm Statista. From there, 40,000 Canada-based employees were surveyed at companies that employ at least 500 people.
Among the questions were whether employees would recommend their employer and if they’d do the same for any previous workplaces within the past two years.
Those surveyed were also asked to rank their employer on criteria such as salary, work flexibility, training programs and opportunities to advance.
Responses were tallied from the past three years and assigned a score.
“As one of Canada’s leading community hospitals, we’re guided by a clear mission: keeping people at the heart of all we do,” CMH said in a social media post.
“This recognition affirms what we live every day, that a culture rooted in caring, collaboration and respect builds a stronger, more resilient healthcare system.”
Cambridge wasn’t the only employer in the region to crack the list. D2L in Kitchener was ranked No. 99, with Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo and the University of Waterloo ranking No. 123 and No. 154.
Google took the top spot.
